Solution
There are no helpers for it, yet. DBRefs are just normal hashes, though, so you can access/create them yourself. They have the form:
my $ref = {'$ref' => $collection_name, '$id' => $id};
See http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/DB+Ref for more info.
OTHER TIPS
It's also handled by MongoDBx::Class, but this is a fully fledged ORM so it may not fit your use case.
Its handle by MongoDBx::AutoDeref.
