my appologies, I see the sid package has it.
 
I am using etch and Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst is not included in
etch's libmodules-perl . (I should point out that the package info
mentions Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst although the module is not
included)

Thanks for the tip. I will use that myself. 

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime is still unusable  though, here's a
fragment of its 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.

I am more than willing to maintain the backported packages (if needed),
but I think I will need some help at start.

Thanks a lot
