I am using SQL Server, and I can't find any documentation on how to define the syntax that will address varchar(max).

For example:

__PACKAGE__->table( 'myTable' );

=head ACCESSORS

=head2 id

  data_type: 'integer'
  is_nullable: 0

=head2 title

  data_type: 'varchar'
  is_nullable: 0
  size: 200

=head2 Description

  data_type: 'varchar'
  is_nullable: 1
  size: max

=cut

__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
"id"
{ data_type => "integer", is_nullable => 0 }
"title"
{ data_type => "varchar", is_nullable => 0, size => 200 }
"Description"
{ data_type => "varchar", is_nullable => 1, size => max }
);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key("id");

I get the following error when attempting to run perl -wc app.pm:

Bareword "max" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at mydbapp.pm

I attempted to use dbcidump to build the database package, but ran into difficulties with SQL Server.
So, I build the package myself, based previous DBIx::Class database packages for SQL Server.

Is there any one with experience on this issue that can guide me. Thanks.
