Maybe as an act of defiance against the remaining tests missing labels, or as one last act of 'hey, it actually does work', but I'm somewhat done with a storage layer for Handel using Rose::DB::Object.
While DBIx::Class and Rose::DB::Object are conceptually close to each other, the storage layer is going swimmingly well. I guess that means that I did a fairly decent job of abstracting the storage layer. Ok, so that's why I really did it, to make sure things like this are actually plausible. :-)
Using it for the stock schema is really no more than changing:
__PACKAGE__->storage_class('Handel::Storage::DBIC::Cart');__PACKAGE__->storage_class('Handel::Storage::RDBO::Cart');
