API wrapper best practices?

[Kieren Diment]

I don't think there's any special magic involved.  Consider DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader or its opposite $schema->deploy https://metacpan.org/module/DBIx::Class::Schema#deploy

Mostly integration with some existing system is a matter of ticking off all the detail and banging your head against any existing bits of the system that behave in interesting ways.

This article also looks interesting. http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/05/testing-dbix-models-without-the-database.html
