Calling delete on your resultset will delete the file from the filesystem. Retrevial of the record automatically inflates the column back to the set hash with the IO::File handle and filename. =head1 DESCRIPTION InflateColumn::File =head1 METHODS =head2 _file_column_callback ($file,$ret,$target) method made to be overridden for callback purposes. =cut sub _file_column_callback { my ($self,$file,$ret,$target) = @_; } =head1 AUTHOR Victor Igumnov =head1 LICENSE This library is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut 1;
