Hi,
I'm wrapping DBIx::Class over a legacy database that uses the
iso-8859-1 charset internally. My app expects all perl strings as utf8.
I'm trying to write an extension to DBIC that decodes the value from
the DB into utf8, and does the reverse when I insert/update data. At
first I tried to use the InflateColumn as the base of this, but it
expects a DB -> Object / Object -> DB flow, and cannot support the DB -
> scalar / scalar -> DB (at least not on the deflate part).
I was wondering if anybody has any ideas/suggestions on how to do this
inside DBIC. I would prefer not to manually encode/decode data I get
from the DB.
Basically a setup like the current InflateColumn but that allows
scalars to be processed on the deflate step would work, like a filter.
Thanks in advance,
