Let's say you have a database, and wish to have a basic web interface supporting Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete and Search, with near-zero effort.

This talk will explain how one of the small crop of solutions to this problem works, namely the CatalystX::ListFramework::Builder distribution.

Technologies covered include Catalyst plugins, DBIx::Class, Template::Toolkit, ExtJS Javascript, dreadful hacky Perl, heuristics, intuition, and magic. Yet it all works rather well.
