O wise and omnipotent monks,
I'm using Class::DBI to retrieve a reply to a thread on a message board I am writing. (The code) 

#!perl -w

use strict;
use PL;

my $obj = PL->new;
my $q = $obj->CGI;
my $id = $q->param('id');

unless ( $q->param('go') eq 'yup' ) {
    my $thread = $obj->DBI->Entries->retrieve($id);
    my @comments = $thread->replies;
    my @d_body = ();
    my @d_comment = ();

    for (@comments) {
        my %data;
        $data{author}  = $_->author;
        $data{content} = $_->content;
        $data{date}    = $_->date;
        push @d_comment, \%data;
    }
    
    # eww....can't figure out a better way for now though
    for ( $thread ) {
        my %data2;
        $data2{author}  = $thread->author;
        $data2{date}    = $thread->date;
        $data2{content} = $thread->content;
        push @d_body, \%data2;
    }
    
    $obj->Template->file ("tmpl/comments.tmpl");
    print $q->header, $obj->Template->format ( 
            { 
                title=>'Viewing thread: ' . $thread->title, 
                body=> \@d_body,
                comments => \@d_comment
            } );
    
} else {    
    
    if ( $q->param('go') eq  'yup' ) {
    
        my $now = $obj->DBI->now;
        my %form = (
            id        => '0',
            author       => $q->param('author'),
            date      => $obj->DBI->now,
            content   => $q->param('content'),
            thread_id => $id
        );
    
        $obj->DBI->Replies->create (\%form);
        $obj->DBI->Replies->update;
        $obj->DBI->Replies->discard_changes;
    
        print $q->header, $q->p('Thank you for your reply', $q->a( {-h
+ref=>'reply.cgi?id=' . $q->param('id')}, '&laquo Back'));
    }
}

However, it's only returning 0's, so instead of:
Any ideas?
UPDATE: I'd also like to get a better way for retrieving both the original thread and replies for that thread, I had a good thing going with  @comments = $thread->replies, but then the train of thought just kinda died. Any suggestions?
meh.
