+
+DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime - Auto-create DateTime objects from datetime columns.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Load this component and then declare one or more
+columns to be of the datetime datatype.
+
+ package Event;
+ __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::DateTime/);
+ __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
+ starts_when => { data_type => 'datetime' }
+ );
+
+Then you can treat the specified column as a L<DateTime> object.

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module figures out the type of DateTime::Format::* class to
+inflate/deflate with based on the type of DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::*
+that you are using. If you switch from one database to a different
+one your code will continue to work without modification.
