RE: [CDBI] Disable caching of column values?

I was hoping for a method that would not require additional code in the
application side.  However, you pointing out the need to call
_attribute_delete allowed me to fine tune my Google and code searching.
I came across the following post to the CDBI mailing list:

Create a new object every time.

my $foo = Foo->retrieve(17);
print $foo->bar;
undef $foo;
my $foo = Foo->retrieve(17); # fetched again
print $foo->bar; # current value

Alternatively, you can delete a single column so it will be fetched
again:

$foo->attribute_delete('bar');

That's a private method though and is probably different in different
releases.
