Ignore my response as well then... ;)

(Though it might be useful for others, I see people trying to do this 
*way* too often even though you weren't)

Yep, the update_or_create method is extremely useful and pretty slick. 
I usually have to write a stored procedure to make sure this gets done 
correctly, but once again DBIC does it the right way out of the box!
