[Dbix-class] why is this returning an hash?

[will trillich]

If you have a lot of result rows that you're expecting, assigning the whole
set to an array might cause memory troubles.

I'd recommend the _rs approach for processing one at a time:

my $rs =3D $schema
    ->resultset('Mytable')
        ->*search_rs*( # note _rs suffix, instead of ->all
            { item_id =3D> $id },
        );
while ( my $item =3D $rs->next ) {
    # do useful things with $item and $item->item_status
}
