Hello!
We have been using some customizations to DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Pg for a while, which makes DBIx::Class replication-aware for Postgres. I'd like to push the changes upstream.
The changes work with PostgreSQL hot-standby replication, which was introduced in PostgreSQL 9.0. I don't know if it would work in other forms of PostgreSQL master-slave replication (such as Slony); I'm sure it won't work with PostgreSQL master-master replication (such as BDR), although I'm not sure you'd even want to use this in a multi-master environment.
The code was written by a co-worker, but I've gotten his OK to push this upstream.
