Bug #9181 for Class-DBI-mysql: class::dbi::mysql time::piece inflation exceptions

Hello, Thanks for writing the class::dbi::mysql module. I'm using it with maypole, it is very handy. However, I have a table with a datetime column, and it can have NULL values if there is no info for it. And I can't figure out how to wrap the autoinflate => dates value in an eval to catch the exception, as its obviously a bad idea for it to crash the mod_perl handler. Any suggestions? I would use something like __PACKAGE__->has_a(lastlogin => 'Time::Piece', inflate => sub { eval {Time::Piece->strptime(shift, "%Y-%m-%d") }}, deflate => 'ymd');# what about seconds? Hmmph. but the docs mention autoinflate doesn't support the inflate subs. I guess I'm probablly just stuck handling it myself, but it would be a nice feature for class::dbi::mysql to handle, though what to do with exceptions is a difficult question.
