.TH Class::DBI::SAK 3 "2008-01-01" "perl v5.8.8" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
Class::DBI::SAK \- Class::DBI Swiss Army Knife (SAK)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&  use Class::DBI::SAK qw[:common :mysql FromCGI];
.Ve
.SH "ABSTRACT"
.IX Header "ABSTRACT"
This module encapsulates the pain and suffering that is importing
Class::DBI and all it's little helper friends.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
By taking the busy work out of using Class::DBI as you see fit,
your code becomes more useful by size.  Most of us end up using at
least a couple Class::DBI extensions in our programs, and it's just
a pain.  Enter the Swiss Army Knife.
.PP
This module is intelligent.  It knows how each module is supposed
to be used, and which ones override the need to
\&\f(CW\*(C`use base qw[Class::DBI]\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`Class::DBI::SAK\*(C'\fR is not a subclass of \f(CW\*(C`Class::DBI\*(C'\fR.  If you want
to subclass \f(CW\*(C`Class::DBI\*(C'\fR you do the following.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  use Class::DBI::SAK qw[:useful];
\&  use base qw[Class::DBI];
.Ve
.PP
Also, \f(CW\*(C`Class::DBI::SAK\*(C'\fR installation recommends that you install the
described in the \f(CW\*(C`:useful\*(C'\fR tag.  No modules described in Tags
or Modules are bundled with this distribution.  They must be installed
by you if you want to use them.
.Sh "Tags"
.IX Subsection "Tags"
Tags may be specified either by groupings, begining with a colon
(\f(CW\*(C`:\*(C'\fR), or by the name of the module following the \f(CW\*(C`Class::DBI::\*(C'\fR
prefix.
.PP
Tags are available for all modules in the Class::DBI namepace, where
it makes sense to do so, as of the date of this distribution.
.PP
All modules are mentioned without the \f(CW\*(C`Class::DBI::\*(C'\fR prefix for
brevity.
.PP
\fIGroups\fR
.IX Subsection "Groups"
.ie n .IP """:all""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW:all\fR" 4
.IX Item ":all"
All the modules specified in this module.  This couldn't possibly
be useful to the end user (you) since so many of them conflict.
.ie n .IP """:useful""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW:useful\fR" 4
.IX Item ":useful"
Modules that are generally useful all the time.  AbstractSearch,
and Pager.  This is the default if no tags are given at all.
.ie n .IP """:mysql""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW:mysql\fR" 4
.IX Item ":mysql"
Modules for widened support for Mysql.  mysql, mysql::FullTextSearch.

.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
First, this module could get out of date easily.  This is due to the
nature of the uses of each of the modules.  They are not consistent,
so I have to know about each one.  Please submit a bug report if you
find this module out of date.
.PP
Second, no known bugs.
