The hash ref inflator is for working with an entire result set, not a
specific row.  It honestly wouldn't make sense with a single row,
because if you get a single row the object is already created...

You'd have to read the source of DBIx::Class::ResultSet (specifically
sub next) to see how it fully works, but it's (in rough theory) mostly
the same as your xml method - except using more of the DBIC API.

But yes, this thread should move to the dbic list.
