[cgiapp] Re: Class::MOP? Really?

[Jason Purdy]

Hmm, I just saw this (catching up on my email, if you can't tell already 
;)) after I replied directly to Robert's previous email on this topic. 
I wanted to share that I'm using/enjoying Rose, too, but also that I 
stumbled onto it and gave it a shot after reading Randal's columns on 
the technology:

http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col86.html
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col87.html
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col88.html
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col89.html

In the first column, Randal talks about his take on the ORM debate.
