Ah, OK. That makes sense.

However for blobs I was under the impression that it would Just Work.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to Just Work; passing a reference to
a blob column mutator just causes the stringification to be stored in the
column. But after looking at the docs for InflateColumn, I was able to get
this to work:

use Storable qw(freeze thaw);

__PACKAGE__->inflate_column(
    myblobcol =3D> {
        inflate   =3D> sub { thaw( shift ) },
        deflate   =3D> sub { freeze( shift ) }
    }
);


Most excellent!

Thanks,


Mike
