I've searched around, and already "solved" the issue that is referenced in Tie::DBI question (re: case sensitivity in hash keys).

I thought I had the syntax down for using Tie::DBI for inserting data (which the perldoc does say is possible... but i must be missing something. i'm using: 

   my $parentId = $q->param('annual');
   my $thisSession = $q->param('id');

   tie my %obj, 'Tie::DBI', $dbh, 'conference_event','id', { CLOBBER =
+> 1, WARN => 1, DEBUG => 1, CASESENSITIV => 1 } ;
   my @keys;

   if ( ! $thisSession ) {
      my $tempId = (keys %obj)[-1];
      @keys = keys %{ $obj{$tempId} };
      $thisSession = $tempId + 1;
   } else {
      @keys = keys %{ $obj{$thisSession} };
   }

   my $newVals;
   foreach my $key ( @keys ) {
     $newVals->{$key} = $q->param($key) ||
                           $obj{$thisSession}->{$key};
   }

   $newVals->{'id'} = $thisSession;
   $newVals->{'conf_annual_id'} = $parentId;

   ## $obj{$thisSession} = $newVals;
   $obj{'id'} = $newVals;

and it looks like the id is correct, and that something should be inserting, but when i look at my error_log: 

Ignored attempt to change value of key field "id" at ... (line #)
insert into table ....
update table set ....

so i get both an insert and an update statement, but i don't get the row inserted into the DB ... i've sent the 'new' id to the errorlog, and it looks to be the right number ...

what am i missing?
