That's great news. I was going to do something relatively simple in design using Template Toolkit and HTML::Table[1] as an internal object you could play with. Generally I was thinking about a clean interface that checks each object type in the DBI (thus, supporting DBD::*) and corresponds it with the proper HTML input type (text, checkbox, textarea) which you could configure and change it to.. say radio or whatnot. Using HTML::Table it would be able to nicely portrait the DB and allow maximal configuration for the display of it without being bothered with it. I haven't uploaded anything to CPAN because there's currently not much to upload. It's beyond an idea but not much beyond. I think working together presents new possibilities for it, and could definitely benefit the general community in what we could accomplish. I don't know Muldis::Rosetta (though I've read of it) and never really played with Catalyst but I'm willing to go over these possibilities and see if they would be better than what I had in mind for it. They just might be.
