[Catalyst] best way to create a flexible, multiple key, CRUD application?

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

Hi,

Just one explanation - the DBSchema.pm you mention in your email is
generated by InstantCRUD.  The generation part is quite complicated
since Jonas Alves added support for the many-to-many relations, but if
you just edit the generated files and add the additional primary keys
it should work.

Anyway I stopped development of Instant untill I have a more clear
picture of what underlaying libraries to use and untill I have some
additional functionality in them.
