Trying just MongoDB, and it works!

And it works!

#!/usr/bin/perl

use feature qw{ say state } ;
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use Data::Dumper ;
use MongoDBx::Class ;
use MongoDB ;

my @movies ;
push @movies,
    {
    title           => 'Blade Runner',
    rating          => 'R',
    releaseYear     => '1982',
    hasCreditCookie => 1
    } ;
push @movies,
    {
    title           => 'Thor',
    rating          => 'PG-13',
    releaseYear     => '2011',
    hasCreditCookie => 1
    } ;

{
    my $client     = MongoDB::MongoClient->new( host => 'localhost', port => 27017 ) ;
    my $database   = $client->get_database( 'test' ) ;
    my $collection = $database->get_collection( 'movies' ) ;
    my $movies     = $collection->find( ) ; # READ
    while ( my $movie = $movies->next ) { # would prefer for ( @$movies ) {} but oh well
        my $title = $movie->{ title } ? $movie->{ title } : 'none' ;
        my $releaseYear = $movie->{ releaseYear } ? $movie->{ releaseYear } : 'none' ;
        my $count = $movie->{ count } ? $movie->{ count } : 0 ;
        say qq{$title ($releaseYear) - $count } ;
        my $id = $movie->{ _id } ; # every mongodb record gets an _id
        $collection->remove( { _id => $id } ) if $title eq 'none' ; # DELETE
        $collection->update(
            { title => $title },
            { '$set' => { count => 1 + $count } }
            ) ; # UPDATE
        }
    #LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE CRUD!!!
    }
exit ;
{
    my $client     = MongoDB::MongoClient->new( host => 'localhost', port => 27017 ) ;
    my $database   = $client->get_database( 'test' ) ;
    my $collection = $database->get_collection( 'movies' ) ;
    my $data       = $collection->find( ) ;
    for my $movie ( @movies ) {
        say qq{$movie->{ title } ($movie->{ releaseYear })} ;
        $collection->insert( $movie ) ; # CREATE
        }
    }

The lesson might be Don't Trust ORMs, Do It Yourself, but I hope that there's some reason to use these things.
