You make a good point here, Juerd. How about i change the do() arguments to this: $dbh->do(tableName => "table_name", get => {...}, set => {...})

Better already, but when in real life is it practical to simultaneously set and get? I can't think of any situation.

Thus abstracting it more, to two methods instead of one, makes sense to me:

$dbh->get("table_name", {...});
$dbh->set("table_name", {...});

Which is very close to what DBIx::Simple lets you write if you have SQL::Abstract installed:

$db->select('table_name', [...]);
$db->update('table_name', {...}, ...);
