Handel Framework

After some tinkering and constantly bothering #dbix-class with questions, there is a development version of Handel running on DBIx::Class.

0.28_01 Sun Nov 27 15:13:25 2005

• Converted from Class::DBI to DBIx::Class
• constraint_price now accepts 0 as a valid value
• price fields are now set to 0 by default
• shopper constraint is now working can’t be empty during new

Beware! There be dragons!

Even though DBIx::Class 0.04 is the prereq, please use the latest from the DBIC trunk. This fixes problems with inflated columns not being updated during Checkout::process().

There is currently a ‘feature’ when updating item columns that causes changes to be lost. For now, please always retrieve items using array context and not the iterator in scalar context for now.

You can download the dist here:

You can also get the latest from the DBIC branch here:
