That's what I thought, but it wasn't working. I've updated to DBIx::Class 
0.06 (was running an older version) and still having problems. Let me expose 
more of the environment:

	Fedora Core Linux 4 (i386) (Perl 5.8.6)
	PostgreSQL 8.0.7 backend
	DBD::Pg 1.47

Here is the error showing up in the logs now when I try using the above code 
to include a TO_CHAR(arg1, arg2) in the code:

	Cannot mix placeholder styles ":foo" and "?" at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBD/Pg.pm line 188.

Any other suggestions?
