+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::FilterColumn - Automatically convert column data
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+In your Schema or DB class add "FilterColumn" to the top of the component list.
+
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( FilterColumn ... ));
+
+Set up filters for the columns you want to convert.
+
+ __PACKAGE__->filter_column( money => {
+ filter_to_storage => 'to_pennies',
+ filter_from_storage => 'from_pennies',
+ });
+
+ sub to_pennies { $_[1] * 100 }
+
+ sub from_pennies { $_[1] / 100 }
+
+ 1;
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This component is meant to be a more powerful, but less DWIM-y,
+L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn>. One of the major issues with said component is
+that it B<only> works with references. Generally speaking anything that can
+be done with L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn> can be done with this component.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 filter_column
+
+ __PACKAGE__->filter_column( colname => {
+ filter_from_storage => 'method'|\&coderef,
+ filter_to_storage => 'method'|\&coderef,
+ })
+
+This is the method that you need to call to set up a filtered column. It takes
+exactly two arguments; the first being the column name the second being a hash
+reference with C<filter_from_storage> and C<filter_to_storage> set to either
+a method name or a code reference. In either case the filter is invoked as:
+
+ $row_obj->$filter_specification ($value_to_filter)
+
+with C<$filter_specification> being chosen depending on whether the
+C<$value_to_filter> is being retrieved from or written to permanent
+storage.
+
+If a specific directional filter is not specified, the original value will be
+passed to/from storage unfiltered.
+
+=head2 get_filtered_column
+
+ $obj->get_filtered_column('colname')
+
+Returns the filtered value of the column
+
+=head2 set_filtered_column
+
+ $obj->set_filtered_column(colname => 'new_value')
+
+Sets the filtered value of the column
+
+=head1 EXAMPLE OF USE
+
+Some databases have restrictions on values that can be passed to
+boolean columns, and problems can be caused by passing value that
+perl considers to be false (such as C<undef>).
+
+One solution to this is to ensure that the boolean values are set
+to something that the database can handle - such as numeric zero
+and one, using code like this:-
+
+ __PACKAGE__->filter_column(
+ my_boolean_column => {
+ filter_to_storage => sub { $_[1] ? 1 : 0 },
+ }
+ );
+
+In this case the C<filter_from_storage> is not required, as just
+passing the database value through to perl does the right thing.
