I'd like to alter Rose::DB to be able to tabe a subref as a default value

Yeah, I've been considering that feature. It's currently not possible
but I may add it. That said...
Basically the promblem is that I want default for a column to be NOW().
You can do that already. Just specify 'NOW()' as the default value.
start_date => { type => 'datetime', default => 'NOW()' }
The only tricky bit is, if your DBD:: module for your database is not
smart enough to bind a value like 'NOW()' correctly (e.g.,
DBD::mysql), you have to give RDBO permission to "inline" that value
right in the SQL query instead of binding it to a placeholder. So, in
you class that has this column, do this:
__PACKAGE__->meta->allow_inline_column_values(1);
Then it'll work the way you expect.
