Dear Monks

I think I have a rather common problem, but SuperSearch and Google didn't reveal anything useful :-( I want to store a Class::DBI object in a CGI::Application::Session (which is just a wrapper around the well-known CGI::Session module). When I put the object via the param() method in the session object and retrieve it on the next request, Data::Dumper shows me a rather empty object with the correct class and the correct id (my primary key): 
 $xxx = bless( {
                  'id' => 14
               }, 'Application::Foo::Bar' );

[download]
Any method call on the object fails with an error message like null: Can't locate object method "id" via package "Application::Foo::Bar" at /home/chb/work/xyz/site/application/XYZApp.pm line 576.\n Am I missing something fundamental here?
