reverse-engineering ORM class interfaces from RDBMS schemas

I found software to create such interfaces for Perl / in Perl; some such software is oriented towards DBIx::Class, some is oriented towards other approaches. I found that in the books on Catalyst.

• apress: TDG to Catalyst …, Chapter 6: Database Models
• Packt Publishing: Catalyst

Is there any such thing for Ruby? Can ActiveRecord do it?

I find that a rather smart thing. Usually you find a lot of existing schemas (if you are in such a situation), and if you are lucky, you can choose the ORM approach.

Catalyst based CMSs

According to cms.wikia.com/wiki/Impl these are the current Catalyst (so esp. implemented in perl)
 based CMSs:

• EasyCMS2
• Website in a box

Can anybody help me selecting "the right one"?

O, what do I want to use it for?
I got a few web-sites, most of them more or less plain text (HTML!), generated from DocBook, and I want them to look a little more spicy, maybe with a left and a right column and all that.
Alright, coming from DocBook maybe I should also have a look at DocBook website, a variant of DocBook for dealing with websites. But I want to consider the alternatives.

a recent book acquisition: Programming Amazon Web Services

My main Internet provider is quite good at certain services, and they provide with that awfully nice IMAP server; they even allow me to run procmail with my own rules to sort my e-mail into IMAP folders.

I made terrible experiences with them, when I made some Rails experiments. Essentially with ruby and its GEMs as well as with perl and its CPAN you need to be able to run a C compiler yourself in order to get those nice modules built. They don't allow me to run a C compiler there, so I was searching for a different solution.

Sooner or later I came across this book, and with its help (and also with openSUSE 11.1's new features) I want to set up my openSUSE EC2 image. My ideas go towards Catalyst (the perl MVC framework), a web presence for my girl friend, who is a fine arts professional, and of course a few web sites for my own purposes ...

Catalyst, the MVC framework in perl

I recently came across Catalyst, an MVC web application framework, written in perl, let's say it's competing against Ruby on Rails and Grails. But (as it's written in perl) it can make use of the vast resources on CPAN.
To be continued.

WeFind uses Grails, right?

Yet another search engine, but what's special about it, I mean from a developer point of view? It's implemented using Grails. Well, yet another MVC approach in yet another esoteric language. Well, guys why just don't you use an ordinary language like Perl, and why just don't you use Catalyst? Somebody should have told you.
