Two things: First, you can always tell what package your object is actually blessed into with a ref $object. Second, check out perldoc -f bless. Instead of creating an object in your package you're creating it (somehow) in the 'main' package. Here's an example that replicates your problem: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my $main_object = bless( {} );
print "\$main_object is of type (", ref $main_object, ")\n";
$main_object->{blah} = 'blah';
$main_object->get_session();

Running this gives me: 
Can't locate object method "get_session" via package "main" (perhaps
you forgot to load "main"?) at bless_main.pl line 8.
$main_object is of type (main)

If you want to avoid surprises like this, always use the two-argument form of bless, like: 
my $object = bless( {}, 'My::Object' );

[download]
Or more commonly: 
sub new {
   my ( $item ) = @_;
   my $class = ref $item || $item;
   return bless( {}, $class );
}

Hope this helps.
