• Talk: http://fr.slideshare.net/ldami/app-auto-crud

This is an application (still very much in its infancy) for CRUD operations on a DBI database, based on modern Perl components like Plack, Moose, Regexp::Grammars, DBIx::DataModel. Some distinctive features are :
- Hyperlinks between records, corresponding to foreign key relationships in the database.
- Support for update or delete of several records at once.
- Support for reordering, masking, documenting tables and columns through configuration files -- a cheap way to provide reasonable user experience without investing into a full-fledged custom application.
- Data export in Excel, YAML, JSON, XML formats
- Extensibility through inheritance

The talk will demo some of the main features and give some insights about the internal architecture.
