That's actually what I'm doing now. My concern is that using
fetchall_arrayref() by passing an anonymous hash as an argument is
susceptible to typos when the columns are being initialized, and the code
also requires more maintenance, for example, if a table column is added or
renamed. In addition, using this approach on a table with many columns would
result in a lot of code. So please consider adding fetchall_hashref() to
DBI.
Thanks,
