All new() does is pass its args to init(), which you can call directly: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-Object/lib/Rose/Object.pm#init $product = Product->new(id => $id)->load; $product->init(%hash); Of course, that depends on %hash being a bunch of mutator-method/value pairs. That is usually the same thing as column/value pairs, but not always. To be safe, you may want to use the init_with_column_value_pairs() helper method: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Helpers.pm#init_with_column_value_pairs > There is no way to bypass column methods to set values directly. All the methods described above go through the column mutator methods.
