epoch-based columns to/from DateTime objects
SYNOPSIS
package MySchema::Foo;

__PACKAGE__->load_components( qw( DateTime::Epoch TimeStamp Core ) );
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
name => {
data_type => 'varchar',

},
bar => { # epoch stored as an int
data_type => 'bigint',
inflate_datetime => 1,
},
baz => { # epoch stored as a string
data_type => 'varchar',
size => 50,
inflate_datetime => 'epoch',
},
# working in conjunction with DBIx::Class::TimeStamp
creation_time => {
data_type => 'bigint',
inflate_datetime => 1,
set_on_create => 1,
},

}

DESCRIPTION
This module automatically inflates/deflates DateTime objects from/to
epoch values for the specified columns. This module is essentially an
extension to DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime so all of the
settings, including "locale" and "timezone", are also valid.
A column will be recognized as an epoch time given one of the following
scenarios:
· "data_type" is an "int" of some sort and "inflate_datetime" is also
set to a true value
· "data_type" is some other value (e.g. "varchar") and
"inflate_datetime" is explicitly set to "epoch".
DBIx::Class::TimeStamp can also be used in conjunction with this module
to support epoch-based columns that are automatically set on creation
of a row and updated subsequent modifications.
METHODS
add_columns( )
Provides backwards compatibility with the older DateTime::Epoch API.
_inflate_to_datetime( )
Overrides column inflation to use "Datetime->from_epoch".
_deflate_from_datetime( )
Overrides column deflation to call "epoch()" on the column value.
