Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places, but I can't seem to figure out how to access the stash ref from a Template plugin.
For example:

sub new {
    my( $class, $context ) = @_;
    #Stash
    my $stash = $context->{'STASH'} or die( "No stash given" );

    #Bless object ref
    my $self = bless(
        {
            CONTEXT => $context,
            DBH => $stash->get('DBH')
        }, $class
    );

    return $self;
}

...dies as if the stash does not exist. However, when I get a dump of the @_ array, it does appear:

'STASH' => bless( {
    #...megabytes of data omitted for brevity
}, 'Template::Stash' );

However, the docs state in Template::Plugin that the second argument(including the class name) is a Template::Context object, which contains the stash. And the dump above includes a full stash.
I have tried the following as well:

my $stash = $context->stash; #Returns a TT2 undef error "Can't call me
+thod "stash" on an undefined value"

So my question is:

  1. How do I access the stash from a plugin?
  2. Why can't I access the stash like I am now?
