I think InflateColumn::DateTime probably has to be _before_ Core:

Thanks, that did the trick.
Note also that PK::Auto is included in 'Core', so you don't have to
specify it.
Noted (and corrected).
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.
Currently doing: ( join '.', $hits->date->day, $hits->date->month,
$hits->date->year ) in the controllers - repetitive and probably a less
desirable tmtowtdi. In fact it's probably easier to join '.', reverse
split '-', $hits->date without using InflateColumns::DateTime.
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.
Sounds like something for a TT snippet - but how do I call the DateTime
object in the template (yes I'm using Cat)?
