I'm thinking 'nevermind' on this anyway.  If you create it this 
way, then the value in the object is \q{ NOW() } and bombs when 
you try to access it, unless you re-select from the database.

Sounds too complex to fix it this way.  It's a lot easier to 
create the field with DateTime->now() than with \q{ NOW() }, and 
with NTP it's probably about the same anyway.
