My problem with DBI is the opposite of Masem's problem...

Masem hides his SQL statements by defining them elsewhere, whereas my problem is with the surrounding DBI code. Every time I want to look something up I have to do something like: 

$sth=$dbh->prepare("select whatever from thetable where col=?");
$sth->execute($val);
my @list;
while(my $hashref=$sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
  push @list,$hashref;
}
$sth->finish;
return \@list;

DBI provides a few methods such as selectall_arrayref or whatever... but these methods are not cached, and they only return a few data types (there is no selectall_hashref). What I would like to do is this: 
my $hashref=$dbh->getall_hashref("select * from abc where col=?",$val)
+;
my $arrayref=$dbh->getrow_arrayref("select * from abc where col=?",$va
+l);
etc...

All the statements would be compiled with prepare_cached. Does anyone know off hand if any of those DBIx modules support this sort of thing?
