I have this in my class definition:
use Date::Manip;

__PACKAGE__->has_a(changed=>'Date::Manip',
           inflate=>sub {UnixDate(ParseDate(shift),"%e")},
           deflate=>sub {UnixDate(ParseDate("epoch ".(shift)),
                      "%Y%m%d%H%M%S")});
The problem is, Date::Manip doesn't support a routine called 'new', so I 
get
this error:
after_set_changed trigger error: Can't locate object method "new" via 
package "Date::Manip" at /usr/share/perl5/Class/DBI/Relationship/HasA.pm 
line 46.
 at import.pl line 124
        Class::DBI::_croak('MRTGT::Collection=HASH(0x8b738fc)', 
'after_set_changed trigger error: Can\'t locate object method ...', 
'err', '') called at /usr/share/perl5/Class/DBI.pm line 878

"changed" (the field I'm trying to inflate/deflate) is in no way a 
primary key - it's just a data key in the table.

I guess part of my proble is that I don't actualy need a class there - 
the object is a string when deflated, and an integer
when inflated. But I can't work out how to tell that to has_a...
