WHAT
Pegasus - The Module-Starter for DBIx::Class data models

Pegasus is a simple scaffolding utility for RAD (rapid app development).
It helps you generate a DBIx::Class data model with schema class, and
tests.

It basically extends the convenience of using DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader.
This devkit exists solely to help further eliminate the tedium when
creating data models using DBIx::Class.

WHEN
A developer could use Pegasus after creating the database schema at the
database. Pegasus will then generate a DBIC data model.

WHERE
Pegasus is far from ready for the CPAN, ... So where do pre-CPAN modules
attend daycare? GitHub ofcourse:

Pegasus CLI: https://github.com/alnewkirk/Pegasus
Pegasus Example Model: https://github.com/alnewkirk/Pegasus-Example

HOW
Pegasus Scaffold Generation

1. generate schema (using DBIC S::L)
2. generate sql scripts (deploy)
3. generate transaction layer (Pegasus)
4. generate tests (Pegasus)

Usage (from the command-line)

$ sqlite3 example.db < creation_script_not_inc.sql
$ pegasus setup Example::DB dbi:SQLite:./example.db root
$ pegasus run

WHY
Scaffolding helps us build it faster, bigger, better (some restrictions apply)
