I was assigned to write a lightweight ORM in Perl. This includes writing an 
active record.

Classic active record pattern implies assignments to fields of a model and 
after this a save operation. What about using

model->save({Passport=>123456789, FullName=>"Ivan Grotter"})
(pseudocode)

instead (that it passing all parameters in one hash, instead of assigning 
one by one)?

I prefer my variant of active record because it a little simplifies Model 
class. What are other advantages and disadvantages of leaving classic active 
record and using my method?
