I have been experimenting with CGI::Session and find it promising, but I'm having difficulty with the new() method and Class::DBI. I can't find any documentation supporting the use of Class::DBI objects with the new() constructor. The docs state that the CGI::Session new() method requires three arguments(dataset name, a session id, and a hashref) but no explanation is provided for the third arg, the hashref. Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm not even able to figure out what that third arg does from the docs. It sometimes appears to point to a storage location for session data and at other times the hashref appears to contain option/value pairs. 
Examples from the docs:

my $session = new CGI::Session(
          "driver:MySQL", undef, {Directory=>"/tmp"}
      );

[download]
my $session = new CGI::Session(
          "driver:MySQL", undef, {Handle=>"$dbh"}
      );

/Examples

[download]
my $session = new CGI::Session(
          "driver:MySQL", undef, {Class::DBI=>"TableObject"}
      );

[download]
I'm trying to figure out what would go in place of the pseudo code "{Class::DBI=>"TableObject"}" in the above example. What goes here to use the table object? Can anyone provide sources of additional documentation or examples? Thank you for sharing your Perl knowledge.
