Easier way to create a database

Hi!
When I was documenting RDF::LinkedData yesterday, it occurred to me that it
was a bit of a PITA creating the database and getting the scripts to use
it. I think we need to make this easier, somehow. I think that perhaps
Toby's trapper is the right way to do it.
RDF::Trine::Store can be configured with a single string now, and Greg's
original RDF::LinkedData::Apache used that. It is indeed very useful, but I
had a bit of trouble getting the string right when creating a SQlite test
database (which is now in the RDF::LinkedData distribution). I think it
would be confusing for a newbie. Also, I created a small script (also in
the distribution) to parse a Turtle file and create the SQLite database. It
is also rather ugly. It would be nice if people here would peek at
RDF::LinkedData and see if it at all makes sense, and form an opinion on
what can be done to make life easier when setting up an server based on it.
I was thinking, perhaps trapper could have a mode where it parses a file
(it already does), leaves a database behind, and emits the configuration
string, so that the user can paste that into config files of modules such
as RDF::LinkedData?
Cheers,
Kjetil
