[Dbix-class] numeric field returned with quotes

[Adam Witney]

Hi,

I have a numeric type field:

  "gestation", { data_type => "numeric", is_nullable => 1 },

but when I call the accessor I get a quoted number:

use Data::Dumper;
die Dumper($self->gestation);

$VAR1 = '31';

This causes problem as when it gets turned into json, I get this

{ "gestation": "31"}

But then the javascript front end complains when it tries to load it in an input[number] field

Am I doing something wrong, or misunderstanding something?
Thanks

Adam
