Hello Daniel,

we are using DeploymentHandler for all our projects with DBIx::Class.

I'm really fond of it, but it lacks some scripting stuff like querying
the versions and running the prepare and upgrade scripts.

I created a module to support scripting:

https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::CLI

I also coded a helper for custom scripts, which are also a fantastic
part of DeploymentHandler, but you can't easily test them right
now. This will be part of a subsequent release.

Regards
