[Dbix-class] plat-form contest starting soon

[Rolf Schaufelberger]

Hi all, 

at thursday 9.00 am CET the web development platform contest starts 
(http://www.plat-forms.org). Some of you may have heard of it, some others 
not, so I'll just give some info:

The contest first hadn't Perl on i'ts list of languages (besides ASp, Java, 
PHP, Ruby,Python), but after some mails from Perl Monks they added Perl to 
the list of languages. Surprisingly, besides Perl, only java and php got 
three programmings teams to participate.
What has this to do with DBIx::Class you may ask.  Well, our team is very very 
new to DBIx::Class but we decided to use it at the contest. We have taken 
our "framework"  and moved it from Class::DBI to DBIx::Class. While all the 
basic stuff worked so far, I 'm still afraid of running into problems when 
some more complex queries come up, and since we have to finish within 30 
hours quick solutions are necessary. But since we can use "normal mailing 
list or internet support" we can post our problems and ask for help. So I 
just want to ask all you guys, keep your eyes open for mailings starting 
with "platform" , give us quick answers and help Perl "win" (actually there 
will be nor real winner) the contest. 
Besides: One of the other teams will use catalyst, probably using DBIC as 
well.

Tanks all
