Yes I was! I pushed the undef into a wxPerl widget which, when retrieved, returned ''. So when pushing into the DBIx::Class::Row field, I didn’t put undef but ''. So when _eq_column_values was called it executed a numeric comparison which of course fails with ‘’.

The only (documented) issue that could be checked in DBIx::Class is to not allow '' (or any other string) when 'is_numeric' is true ?
