Doesn't that just push the reflection out to the class builder? It's no longer run-time for the application using the generated ORM, but the generator still benefits from reflection in its run-time. Or am I missing the point?
Incidentally, I have used Class::DBI::Loader in the past to generate the ORM classes once, and then used the resulting in-memory model to write out static .pm files. I think that's both an illustration of your off-line class generator, but also of how CDBI::Loader benefits from reflection to build its model -- if it does, in fact. I can't vouch for that, to be honest, because I haven't looked at that module in ages. It certainly seems like it would in my mind.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
