I write a lot of apps that need a simple database. I tend to use SQLite, but I found I was implementing the same things over and over again. I finally started wrapping it up in a role that I can reuse, but now I'm stuck on a name. The role provides the following:

• Database connect/disconnect
• Automatic creation of db if it doesn't already exist
• Transactions
• Blocking locks (SQLite's locking kept biting me, so I worked around it using flock)

The name I picked out of the blue was DBIx::Cradle. It sort of makes sense, but…
