Subject: Re: Anything like Class::DBI from Perl

I have a simple binding library which lets you do something like the following:

---
class Foo
	attr_reader :bar, baz
	attr_writer :bar, :baz
end

Persist::bind(Foo, 'foo_table', :bar, :baz)

f = Foo.fetch('pkey_value')
f.bar = 3
f.store

Foo.select('where bar > ?', 2) {|foo_obj|
	p foo_obj
}
---

It handles about 80% of the database queries I use in a moderately complex (~20kloc)
business application, with the remaining bits done in basic DBI calls.

I've also been experimenting with a thread-safe LRU cache for objects, so
that at least multiple concurrent reads of a database-bound data object don't
have to make a full round trip to the database for each instance.

Right now, it's not really package as a standalone library, but I'd be happy to go
back over the code, clean it up, and either post it here or on RAA for others to
try out.
