Do you mean retrieving an eprint?

$eprint = $repo->dataset( "eprint" )->dataobj( $eprintid );
... make changes
$eprint->commit;

In recent versions of EPrints there are "update()" and "clear()" 
methods, which make it easier to update existing records without 
overwriting core data.

You should check the perldoc on DataSet.pm and DataObj.pm.

All the best,
