here's another approach to consider; a simple wrapper which loses the _id
suffix in the process:

  sub location {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->location_id() unless @_;

    my $name_or_id = shift;
    if ($name_or_id =~ /^[0-9]+/) {
      $self->location_id( int($name_or_id) );
    } else {
      my $location = Location->find_or_create({ name => $name_or_id });
      $self->location_id( $location->id );
    }
  }
