[Dbix-class] Is there a framework for translating raw database errors into human-readable errors

[fREW Schmidt]

I've actually worked on and off on such a thing, called
DBIx::ParseException or something like that.  The idea is to introspect
error strings, error codes, and whatever else we get from a given database
handle to give the user a structured exception object.  This is the repo:
https://github.com/frioux/DBIx-Exceptions

If you'd like to toy with it feel free to message me on irc and we can talk
about where to go with it next.  Or email me off list.
