Thanks for playing devil's advocate. I agree with your comment on Perfect vs Good, and right now I'm trying to hang on to Good Enough. Also agree that there is likely a point to the Carping, but from what I can tell that point is get as much done as fast as possible. My approach to that is to write tests for everything I do because I used to not do test driven development and I don't want to go back there at any cost. I know that it takes 2x time to produce code that I can show which uses tests, but only takes 1x time (plus 2x interest) without writing tests.
Can you comment on what you would use instead of Class::DBI? I know it's not perfect, but it works well for most situations.

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).

are good places to start.
