If you are using the normal many-to-many method for mapping roles,  
something like this:

User->has_many( 'map_user_role', 'User::Role', 'user_id' );
User->many_to_many( 'roles', 'map_user_role', 'role' );

Then you can get the roles objects with $c->user->roles, and the  
User::Role objects with $c->user->map_user_role.
