What is normal way to say: INSERT INTO foo(title, description, dt) VALUES ('foo', 'bar', NOW()); This obvliously doesn't work: $c->model('DB::Foo')->create({ title => 'foo', description => 'bar', dt => 'NOW()', }); I'm making first steps with Catalyst, using DBIx::Class (MySQL). Cannot use 'default NOW()' for that table. Thanks.
