DBIx::DataModel (DBIDM) is a light and powerful framework that simplifies interactions with relational databases. DBIDM makes simple database interactions easy and complex interactions possible - all using Perl.

- a small but discerning list of CPAN dependencies
- more efficient than raw SQL for joins
- a design philosophy that 'less is more' - bringing out the strengths of Perl and DBI
