Except it won't for much longer, as we're making the values to/from
inflate/deflate insist on being blessed() objects.
Though I'm pretty sure one of them did already, so do freeze/thaw return
objects, or something?

InflateColumn is for going to/from an object for a given column. I.e.
turn datetime column into a DateTime object on read, and from DateTime

Ah, OK. That makes sense.
However for blobs I was under the impression that it would Just Work.
i.e. you'd get a scalar value with your data in.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to Just Work; passing a reference to
a blob column mutator just causes the stringification to be stored in the
column. But after looking at the docs for InflateColumn, I was able to get
this to work:
use Storable qw(freeze thaw);
__PACKAGE__->inflate_column(
myblobcol => {
inflate => sub { thaw( shift ) },
deflate => sub { freeze( shift ) }
}
);
Most excellent!
Thanks,
Mike
