It does some of that, but not all. For example, Class::DBI::mysql lets you do this:
__PACKAGE__->autoinflate(dates => 'Time::Piece');
It can also retrieve the accepted list of values for an ENUM column. Tim Bunce posted some code that went further to add automatic value checking based on column type, but it was never formally released as a module.
These days I would advise people to use one of the newer ORMs instead, but Class::DBI's weaknesses are mostly in the SQL generation area, not in auto-discovery.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
