Ok now it's clear to me. You should be able to do this, the filter is called
with the following parameters:
Update: &{$if} ($val, 'update', $data, $where)
Insert: &{$if} ($val, 'insert', $data)
$val is the field value and $data is a hash ref of the data passed to
Update/Insert, so you can take value from there to assemble the field value
you return. You may also set the flags rqINSERT and/or rqUPDATE when
setting the filters, to make sure the filter is called anyway, also the
actual database field is not passed to Update/Insert.
Unfortunately there is no such thing for the other direction, also it should
be possible to do it (in function TIEHASH, about line 3711 in Recordset.pm)
