Can we have a slightly better > description. What can I do with this package? How about: <descriptiom> Class::DBI provides a convenient abstraction layer to a database. It not only provides a simple database to object mapping layer, but can be used to implement several higher order database functions, at the application level, rather than at the database. . SQL::Abstract provides methods for generating abstract SQL from Perl data structures. . Class::DBI::AbstractSearch is a Class::DBI plugin to glue the SQL::Abstract module into Class::DBI. </description> I feel this is a duplication of information as all this can be found be looking at the descriptions of Class::DBI and SQL::Abstract. However, I guess you are right, without this extra information the description would be a bit mystifying to someone who has never come across Class::DBI. Stephen Quinney
