Have you overridden _croak()? Your code wouldn't normally work  
because Class::DBI::Relationship::HasA will call _croak if the return  
value of the custom inflation method is not blessed into the class it  
expects to see. Which isn't very helpful in your case.

I'd suggest you write a simple subclass of Time::Piece that  
stringifies the way you want it to.
