Re: Class::DBI and Time::Piece::MySQL woes

Yes, I found that a bit strange myself. Time::Piece::MySQL actually=20
modifies the Time::Piece package itself, effectively acting as a=20
superclass rather than a subclass. So you really want to say

use Time::Piece::MySQL;
__PACKAGE__->has_a(angelegt =3D> 'Time::Piece',
        inflate =3D> sub { Time::Piece->from_mysql_datetime( shift ); },
        deflate =3D> 'mysql_datetime',
);

It's a bit counter-intuitive, but it works.
