You can find more information on the speaker's site:


DBIx::Introspector will help users detect what database they are connected/connecting to. It should help people create alternate ORMs that actually work with many databases, instead of just Pg, mysql, and SQLite. Additionally, many other tools benefit from acting a different way depending on what type/version of database or driver they are using, for example DBIx::Connector must act differently based on this information. This tool also opens doors for other projects, like a DBH reblesser that makes all databases have the same interface, for example. I hope that by the time the conference rolls around DBIx::Class and DBIx::Connector at the very least will be using it.
