Sorry it seemed so clear in my mind.  :-)

Yes using DBIx::Class.

If the update or delete succeeded in updating or deleting; not just running.

So if an update query should fail because NULL got passed to a NOT NULL 
field, a letter got into an INT field, etc. or an delete fails because 
the key doesn't exist.  I'm looking to determine if the update or delete 
succeeds then do one thing if it fails then another.
