This exactly what I'm doing. But I can not understand why it's not
working. Am I missing something?


__PACKAGE__->add_trigger( before_create  => 
     sub { my $self = shift;                         
           $self->_attribute_store( { 
                   dateCreated => Class::Date->now } );
         } );

I checked log and it's obvious that 'dateCreated' field is not populated
when record is created in DB. I use MySQL, by the way.
