🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Sometimes your database fields are pointers to external data — that's the whole premise. The classic example is you're using DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::FS to manage blob data. In these cases it may be desirable to backup and restore the external data via fixtures. This module performs this function, and it can also serve as an example for your possible custom needs. iykyk.
