This may be of interest.

It's not going to be entirely focused on Catalyst and DBIC but it will
give you a nice overview. It won't cover the JSON/XML stuff your
after. For that you'll have to do what everyone else does; read the
docs and ask questions. Another option might be with get yourself a
per-incident, by-the-hour, support deal. There are plenty of
free-lancers (and companies with free-lancers) that can offer that. It
could be amiss of me to suggest one on-list.

HTH,
