Greetings,

As promised in my previous thread, I'm preparing a bunch of
InflateColumn modules for distribution. The first two are now ready
for testing, so I would appreciate your comments. The docs and tests
included in the distributions are pretty sparse -- but then, there's
not to much to the modules to document or test.

The distributions are available here:

http://www.friedo.com/dist/DBIx-Class-InflateColumn-Twig-0.01000.tar.gz
http://www.friedo.com/dist/DBIx-Class-InflateColumn-URI-0.01000.tar.gz

I think I agree with this -- adding all of these to the main DBIC
distribution causes us to be dependent on GD and all sorts of weird
stuff. I am beginning to think that multiple distributions are
probably the best choice.

Tonight or within the next couple days I will bundle these up and post
an RFC on this list, then upload to CPAN if there are no major
objections.

Greetings,

I'm putting the finishing touches on a group of InflateColumn modules
which I thought might be useful CPAN releases; they're all pretty
trivial, though, so it seems a bit obnoxious to make an entire
distribution for each one. Should I bundle them all together in a
single distribution or upload them separately? Here are the ones I
have which don't overlap with stuff already on CPAN:

InflateColumn::URI  -- turns URI/URL fields into URI objects
InflateColumn::Twig -- turns XML chunks into XML::Twig objects
InflateColumn::GD -- turns a binary field with an image into a GD object
InflateColumn::YAML -- turns a YAML chunk into Perl data structure
InflateColumn::JSON -- same thing but for JSON data
