inkdroid writes "At this Tuesday's chicago.pm meeting Jay Strauss will be talking about Class::DBI. If you aren't familiar with CDBI, it's a perl module that performs all the drudgery of converting objects to relational databases and vice versa. If you work with perl (or even if you haven't) and want to talk to a relational DB (oracle, mysql, postgres, sybase, sqlserver...), this is a module you must check out. Please join us, directions to the meeting are available."
