I think InflateColumn::DateTime probably has to be _before_ Core:
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::DateTime Core/);

Note also that PK::Auto is included in 'Core', so you don't have to specify it.

On reflection though, maybe InflateColumn is not the correct method for what I really want - to globally reformat date fields to EU format.

If you're certain you'll only want an EU formatted date, you can use DBIx::Class::InflateColumn in your resultset and add the code to inflate to whatever you'd like. Check the InflateColumn docs for an example.

I generally prefer receiving the DateTime object, though, since my formatting is usually dependent on what I'm doing with the data. If you're using something like Catalyst, I'd pass the DateTime object down to the view, and let it decide how to format it.
