[Dbix-class] Re: Adding a column to a result set

[James R. Leu]

I know its poor form to respond to your own post, but since I've not seen
a response, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.  Can the
answer to my question be found someplace obvious?  Am I trying to do
something that is considered absurd or pointless?  Or is what I'm trying
to do just not possible.

Thanks
