What I'd like is a method called "update" that works like "create": 

# as yet wishfull thinking...

             my $cd = Music::CD->update({
                     cdid   => 1,
                     artist => $artist,
                     title  => 'October',
                     year   => 1980,
             });

I'm surprized that one hasn't been written like this already. I may have to write this myself, but it would be nice not have to.

    Well, it's called set 
    
my $cd = Music::CD->retrieve( cdid   => 1 ) or die "no cd 1";

$cd->set(
        artist => $artist,
        title  => 'October',
        year   => 1980,
);

    update: that's why they call me PodMaster ;D

      Yup, that's the ticket. Mea Culpa, it is in the docs, just not where I was looking for it.

      Thanks
