[Dbix-class] update_or_insert from hash reference

[John Li]

I don't mind to write the patch, Matt. Do you have something like
http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.48/DBI.pm#How_to_create_a_patch_without_S
ubversion to get me started?


Cheers,

John (Zhuang) Li

update_or_create is a row-level operation that gets performed in the 
context of a resultset; $rs->delete is a resultset-level operation. I 
don't see any particular reason not to support ->delete($cond) though 
(probably by just expanding it internally to ->search($cond)->delete), 
but somebody else gets to write up the test cases and patch :)
