Hi, In Class::DBI, the methods: 
  set(%params);
  create(\%params);

[download]
use the passed-in parameters to either update or create a new record. In my situation, my %params are used by several classes, therefore it contains more keys than the columns of any individual class. When I passed it in the above two methods, I get the "no such column" error. My question is what is the best way to allow this. I did the following (I used a different method name), which constructs another param with keys coming from the columns(). I didn't like this since it relies on knowing something about how the parameters get translated to column names, and it might not work well when access/mutator names get changed. Is there a better way? Thanks. 
   sub set_all{
      my($self, %params) = @_;
      my %p =(); # construct a new param
      foreach my $c ($self->columns()){
         my $normalize = lc $c; # seems internally always lower case
         $p{$normlize} = $params{$normalize} if $params{$normalize};
      }
      $self->set(%p); # call the original set
   }
