This is proposal for a filtering component, similar to
DBIx::Class::InflateColumn
It can -modify- columns transparently. When you read column - it inflates,
when you write - deflates.
On creating a new column, whole cycle passed - deflating for DB and inflating
for usage.
Module can handle scalars, because of it's destination - to modify data.
I think I see where you are going, but can you give some actual examples
with data, how to use it etc?
Someone did start/implement a ::Filter module, but I'm not sure where that
went or why it disappeared.. That one was *just* for scalar to scalar
though.
Module can works together with InflateColumn:
__PACKAGE__->modify_column('passw', ...);
__PACKAGE__->inflate_column('passw', ...);
In that case, when you read - it inflates into object by InflateColumn, then
object will be modified by ModifyColumn. When wou write - there's reverse
process.
Again, examples? ;)
