 Just use C<find_or_new> instead, then check C<in_storage>:

+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD');
+
+ $rs->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator');
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+DBIx::Class is not built for speed: it's built for convenience and
+ease of use. But sometimes you just need to get the data, and skip the
+fancy objects. That is what this class provides.
+
+There are two ways of using this class.
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+Specify C<< $rs->result_class >> on a specific resultset to affect only that
+resultser (and any chained off of it); or
+
+=item *
+
+Specify C<< __PACKAGE__->result_class >> on your source object to force all
+uses of that result source to be inflated to hash-refs - this approach is not

+

+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 inflate_result
+
+Inflates the result and prefetched data into a hash-ref using L<mk_hash>.

+This does all the work of inflating the (pre)fetched data.
