Well, Advanced Perl (2nd Ed) directed me to CDBI -- I've read about
DBIx::Class (while I was trying to find doc for Class::DBI!), but I'm
limiting myself to things available from the ActiveState ppms at the
moment, so not an option.

I also liked CDBI, over Tangram, because it felt more like a .Net
DataSet: a portable abstraction from whatever DB I'm using that looks
after updates and insertions for me. I'm getting the feeling that CDBI
will be making a lot more DB traffic than I'm used to, but I'll wait
until that looks like a problem before I start worrying -- I've already
noticed class::cbi::cacheable ...

Ooo -- you just taught me some new Perl. Thanks!

But why do I always feel queasy when people do that to me?  ;-)

That sounds like just the sort of thing I'd like to use, I'll read up
tonight.
