-DBIx::Class is faster than older ORMs like Class::DBI but it still isn't
+DBIx::Class is faster than older ORMs like Class::DBI but it still isn't
designed primarily for speed. Sometimes you need to quickly retrieve the data
-from a massive resultset, while skipping the creation of fancy row objects.
+from a massive resultset, while skipping the creation of fancy result objects.
Specifying this class as a C<result_class> for a resultset will change C<< $rs->next >>
to return a plain data hash-ref (or a list of such hash-refs if C<< $rs->all >> is used).
-There are two ways of using this class:
-
-=over
-
-=item *
-
-Supply an instance of DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator to
-C<< $rs->result_class >>. See L</ARGUMENTS> for a list of valid
-arguments to new().
-
-=item *
-
-Another way is to simply supply the class name as a string to
-C<< $rs->result_class >>. Equivalent to passing
-DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator->new().

=head1 METHODS
-=head2 new
-
- $class->new( %args );
- $class->new({ %args });
-
-Creates a new DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator object. Takes the following
-arguments:
-
-=over
-
-=item inflate_columns
-
-Sometimes you still want all your data to be inflated to the corresponding
-objects according to the rules you defined in your table classes (e.g. you
-want all dates in the resulting hash to be replaced with the equivalent
-DateTime objects). Supplying C<< inflate_columns => 1 >> to the constructor will
-interrogate the processed columns and apply any inflation methods declared
-via L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn/inflate_column> to the contents of the
-resulting hash-ref.

Inflates the result and prefetched data into a hash-ref (invoked by L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet>)

-When using C<inflate_columns>, the inflation method lookups are cached in the
-HashRefInflator object for additional speed. If you modify column inflators at run
-time, make sure to grab a new instance of this class to avoid cached surprises.
+Column value inflation, e.g., using modules like
+L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>, is not performed.
+The returned hash contains the raw database values.
