Hi all, I'm seeing the following strange behavior that's driving me nuts. I'm doing something standard: in a web application, when someone logs in, I'll load a User object, and store it in a CGI::Session. Next time the session comes back again, I'll simply get the User object from the session. My User object is a simple subclass of Class::DBI (say with columns: name,password, age): 
package User;
use strict;
use base 'Class::DBI';

User->table('user');
User->columns(Primiary=>qw/name/);
User->columns(Other=>qw/password age/);

1;

The User object is stored correctly in the session the first time. But after I retrieve it from the session, the call to $user->age() fails, claiming there is no such method. When I do a data dump, $user is given as: 
bless({ name=> "test", password=>"password", age=>10},"User")
# bless({ name=> "test", password=>"password", age=>10},"User")->age()
+ gives error.

This only happens within CGI::Session. When used by itself, all is ok: 

use User;
bless({ name=> "test", password=>"password", age=>10},"User")->age();
# returns 10
