Yep that works.  I was forgetting the "args" .  What made me curious
was my meta_info hash has "DUMMY" for  deflate and inflate methods
which I set to code refs.

Anyway, in case anyone is curious, I needed this (rather than just
saying $self->_attr($col) )  because I want to call a custom deflate
for text iputs when editing datetime columns.  Time::Piece stringifies
like localtime and it never passes the validatiton like that or is it
in an editable form.  So i specified the has_a like:

__PACKAGE__->has_a("created" =3D> 'Time::Piece',
        inflate =3D> sub { Time::Piece->strptime(shift, "%Y-%m-%d %T") },
        deflate =3D> sub { my $tp =3D shift; return $tp->ymd.' '.$tp->hms; =
},
        deflate4input =3D> sub { my $tp =3D shift; return $tp->ymd.' '.$tp-=
>hms; },
);

Then hacked AsForm::_to_textfield , to check for object and
deflate4Input code ref.

Thanks, Matt.
