NAME

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::BigFloat - Auto-inflate your decimal columns into solid floats

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

package Event;
use base 'DBIx::Class::Core';

__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::BigFloat/);
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
  cost => { data_type => 'decmial', size => [7,2] }
);

DESCRIPTION

This module causes 'decimal' type columns in your database to automatically wrap their values with Math::BigFloat. This solves most errors that occur due to floating point arithmatic upon these values. Keep in mind that while this fixes the values sourced from the db, you must still clean any values from other sources (e.g. read from files) manually if you want to be confident that your calculations are accurate.

METHODS

register_column

Chains with the "register_column" in DBIx::Class::Row method, and sets up datetime columns appropriately. This would not normally be directly called by end users.

SEE ALSO

Math::BigFloat, DBIx::Class, DBIx::Class::InflateColumn.
