Thanks, this solves my problem.

But just for curiosity: Is there a way to accomplish this in CDBI? Maybe 
with a TEMP column and has_a? The problem I see there is the missing 
class. Also to and from must already be deflated...

__PACKAGE__->has_a(duration => '???',
                    deflate  => sub { $obj->to - $obj->from },
                   );

Good bye,
Uwe
