Greetings,

I have a problem using CGI::Application::Session with my own packages. I realize that the answer will probably come down to a basic ignorance on my part of OOP, and have been reading perltooc, perltoot and some nodes here on PM. Here is some of my code. It produces no errors, either in the logs or on the browser, but does not work either.

Thanks in advance,


In Index.pm 
package myTest::Index;

use strict;
use DBI;
use base 'CGI::Application';
use CGI::Application::Session;
use Data::Dumper;

....
.... 
sub home {  #  $self->start_mode('home');
        my $self = shift;
        my $tmpl = $self->load_tmpl('index.tmpl');
        my $session = $self->session;
        my $data = $session->param_hashref();
        use myTest::module1;
        my $moduleRef = new myTest::module1;
        $moduleRef->add_item();  # session changes in myTest::module1 
+here are not reflected in
                                 # main session
        $session->param("key1","value1");  # Works as expected
        $tmpl->param(DATA => Dumper($data));

        return $tmpl->output;
}

From module1.pm

package myTest::module1;


use base qw/myTest::Index/;
use strict;
use warnings;

sub add_item {
    my $self = shift;
    my @array1 = ('data1','data2');
    my $cart = $self->session->param('_CART') || [];
    push @{ $cart }, @array1;
    $self->session->param('_CART', $cart);
return;
}
