We're using svn, although most of us use the svk client for it which is
rather handier.

If you can get onto #dbix-class on irc.perl.org we can walk you through stuff;
if you can't get onto IRC grab me offlist and we'll sort it out either by
mail or IM of some sort.

Hmm. DBD::Informix docs say to update BYTE and TEXT blob columns you're going
to need to sort out the bind_param stuff (in the same way it's already done
for Oracle and Pg), have no fscking idea about lvarchars at all.

The stacktrace plugin can very occasionally eat an error. I -think- there's
some other condition where Catalyst will eat an error message but nobody's
ever given us a reproducible test case for it. If you get one together chuck
it at the cat list please.
