What I posted was from my form handling code -- it's generic so it
will work with any class I'm updating with a form.  That same
meta_info method is also used to populate the form with options.

That would be nice.  I'm using it meta_info so much in my code that
it now feels quite clean and natural...

I suspect other database object mappers provide this ability.

BTW - Looking at what I posted:

I suspect that should be more like:

           my %keep = map { $_ => 1 } ref $value ? @$value : ( $value )
               if defined $value;
