1NAME
2 Class::DBI::SAK - Class::DBI Swiss Army Knife (SAK)
3
4SYNOPSIS
5 use Class::DBI::SAK qw[:common :mysql FromCGI];
6
7ABSTRACT
8 This module encapsulates the pain and suffering that is importing
9 Class::DBI and all it's little helper friends.
10
11DESCRIPTION
12 By taking the busy work out of using Class::DBI as you see fit, your
13 code becomes more useful by size. Most of us end up using at least a
14 couple Class::DBI extensions in our programs, and it's just a pain.
15 Enter the Swiss Army Knife.
16
17 This module is intelligent. It knows how each module is supposed to be
18 used, and which ones override the need to "use base qw[Class::DBI]".

20 Tags
21
22 Tags may be specified either by groupings, begining with a colon (":"),
23 or by the name of the module following the "Class::DBI::" prefix.
24
25 Tags are available for all modules in the Class::DBI namepace, where it
26 makes sense to do so, as of the date of this distribution.
27
28 All modules are mentioned without the "Class::DBI::" prefix for brevity.

30 Groups
31
32 ":all"
33 All the modules specified in this module. This couldn't possibly be
34 useful to the end user (you) since so many of them conflict.
35
36 ":useful"
37 Modules that are generally useful all the time. AbstractSearch,
38 Join, Pager. This is the default if no tags are given at all.
39
40 ":mysql"
41 Modules for widened support for Mysql. mysql, mysql::FullTextSearch.

50BUGS
51 First, this module could get out of date easily. This is due to the
52 nature of the uses of each of the modules. They are not consistent, so I
53 have to know about each one. Please submit a bug report if you find this
54 module out of date.
55
56 Second, no known bugs.
