or with L<DBIx::Class::Candy>:

 package MyApp::Schema::Result::Account;

 use DBIx::Class::Candy -components => ['Helper::Row::OnColumnChange'];

 table 'Account';

 column id => {
    data_type         => 'integer',

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module codifies a pattern that I've used in a number of projects, namely
that of doing B<something> when a column changes it's value in the database.
It leverages L<DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::StorageValues> for passing in the
C<$old_value>, which do not have to use.  If you leave the
C<keep_storage_value> out of the column definition it will just pass C<undef>
in as the $old_value.  Also note the C<txn_wrap> option.  This allows you to
specify that you want the call to C<update> and the call to the method you
requested to be wrapped in a transaction.  If you end up calling more than
one method due to multple column change methods and more than one specify
C<txn_wrap> it will still only wrap once.

I've gone to great lengths to ensure that order is preserved, so C<before>
and C<around> changes are called in order of definition and C<after> changes
are called in reverse order.

To be clear, the change methods only get called if the value will be changed
after C<update> runs.  It correctly looks at the current value of the column
as well as the arguments passed to C<update>.

=head1 CANDY EXPORTS

If used in conjunction with L<DBIx::Class::Candy> this component will export:

=item before_column_change

=item around_column_change

=item after_column_change

=back

=head1 NO SURPRISE RACE CONDITIONS

One thing that should be made totally clear is that the column change callbacks
are in effect B<< only once >> in a given update.  If you expect to be able to
do something weird like calling one of the callbacks which changes a value with
an accessor which calls a callback etc etc, you probably just need to write some
code to do that yourself.  This helper is specifically made with the aim of
reacting to changes immediately before they hit the database.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 before_column_change

 __PACKAGE__->before_column_change(
   col_name => {
      method   => 'method', # <-- anything that can be called as a method
      txn_wrap => 1,        # <-- true if you want it to be wrapped in a txn
   }
 );

Note: the arguments passed to C<method> will be
C<< $self, $old_value, $new_value >>.

=head2 after_column_change

 __PACKAGE__->after_column_change(
   col_name => {
      method   => 'method', # <-- anything that can be called as a method
      txn_wrap => 1,        # <-- true if you want it to be wrapped in a txn
   }
 );

Note: the arguments passed to C<method> will be
C<< $self, $new_value, $new_value >>. (Because the old value has been changed.)

=head2 around_column_change

 __PACKAGE__->around_column_change(
   col_name => {
      method   => 'method', # <-- anything that can be called as a method
      txn_wrap => 1,        # <-- true if you want it to be wrapped in a txn
   }
 );

Note: the arguments passed to C<method> will be
C<< $self, $next, $old_value, $new_value >>.

Around is subtly different than the other two callbacks.  You B<must> call
C<$next> in your method or it will not work at all.  A silly example of how
this is done could be:

 sub around_change_name {
   my ($self, $next, $old, $new) = @_;

   my $govt_records = $self->govt_records;

   $next->();

   $govt_records->update({ name => $new });
 }

Note: the above code implies a weird database schema.  I haven't actually seen
a time when I've needed around yet, but it seems like there is a use-case.

Also Note: you don't get to change the args to C<$next>.  If you think you
should be able to, you probably don't understand what this component is for.
That or you know something I don't (equally likely.)

=head2 on_column_change_allow_override_args

This is a method that allows a user to circumvent a strange bug in the initial
implementation.  Basically, if the user wanted, she could use
L</before_column_change> to override the value of a given column before
C<update> gets called, thus replacing the value.  Unfortunately this worked in
the case of accessors setting the value, but not if the user had used an
argument to C<update>.  To be clear, if you want the following to actually
replace the value:

 __PACKAGE__->before_column_change(
    name => {
       method   => sub {
          my ($self, $old, $new) = @_;

          $self->name(uc $new);
       },
    },
 );

you will need to define this in your result class:

 sub on_column_change_allow_override_args { 1 }

If for some reason you need the old style, a default of false is already set.
If you are painted in the corner and need both, you can create an accessor and
set it yourself to change the behavior:

 __PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors(inherited => 'on_column_change_allow_override_args');
 ...
 $obj->on_column_change_allow_override_args(1); # works the new way
