Errm, right. That's why noone on the mailing lists uses anything
but TT2 and DBIC, why the beginner's tutorials don't mention any
other options, and why inquiries about these two tend to get
answered very quickly.

Of course, it's better to switch to a system where the "ORM" is
built by people who say multi-column primary keys are bad for you
and foreign keys are pointless. That's "opinionated". Like that
certain "RDBMS" whose developers were also "opinionated", I guess,
and used to very publically state that transactions are silly
(and who needs subselects anyway?).
