		tieTYT on June 15, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: ORM is an anti-pattern There are libraries out there that already reinvent the large chunks of functionality ORMs provide without requiring you to use an actual ORM. I think the middle ground is the best way to go here. Avoid ORMs, avoid native SQL, meet somewhere in the middle.

Perl has Fey. http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Fey

As ORMs go Fey::ORM (built on top of Fey) is good. It's easy to get under the hood and make it do exactly what you want. http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Fey::ORM::Manual::Intro
