Sounds cool.  I'm curious about your database access approach:

   You can provide a DBI connection string (i.e. DBI:mysql:mydb) or
   you can use Class::DBI or Class::DBI::Loader.

What will the plugin do with just a DBI connect string?  Will it use
Class::DBI::Loader internally?  Also, that seems to imply that you'd
use the plugin with an entire database.  That seems unlikely to me.
I'd expect it to work on a single table, or perhaps a set of related
tables.
