Hey all. So I've searched and searched but haven't been able to find out how to do select conditions as named columns using DBIx::Class. In an attempt to try and keep it simple, here is what I'm looking to do: 
  SELECT column_name, ( date_column >= NOW() ) as condition FROM some_
+table;

Where I am hunting to have the query return a boolean indicating whether or not 'date_column' is a date past right now. Simple enough it seems. That said, the ultimate question is: Any ideas of how to do this with DBIx::Class?

Can't seem to find anything in the docs, and have pecked at things like: 
{
  'select' => { 'date_column' => { '>=', NOW(), } },
}

Which is somewhat similar to how to run within the WHERE tuple condition, yet generates a query like the following (which is not syntactically correct): 
SELECT column_name, DATE_COLUMN( >= ( NOW() ) ) as condition

[download]
The best part? Even if it did generate the correct syntax, it also decided to uc() the column name. And, given I'm playing with MySQL, my column names are all case sensitive. Boo!

Any help would be appriciated... Even if it's pointing me to documation I missed or skimmed to fast.

Thanks!
