I think the docs are getting better with each release. There's still a
long way to go, though. Putting together the tutorial for YAPC::Europe
is helping point out some of the flaws. There's also still too much
knowledge that's only really available via the mailing list or wiki.
It's quite hard to structure all that for proper docs though.

Suggestions are always appreciated!

Nope, and at this stage I'd probably turn it down - or at least put it
on hold for a year. Aside from the fact that I really don't have time
to do something like that at the minute, there are too many things in
Class::DBI still in flux. Mostly it's innards and add-ons, so existing
users won't be inconvenienced too much, but a large part of any book on
Class::DBI would be on advanced techniques and interesting ways to extend
it, which currently involve scary things that I'm trying to smooth :)

There's still a whole lot of simplicity to find.

The company we've just bought over have some 'interesting' database
schemas and set-ups for me to work with, so that should trigger some
interesting extensions over the next 6 months as I get stuck into
working with that. I've spent too much time in the last few years
working with databases that neatly match my expectations of what a
database should look like!
