DBI's internal objects are very weird. You are not supposed
to be poking around in them anyway; there is nothing
useful to be seen there, unless you are writing your
own DBD:: module.

You got nothing because there is nothing to get;
the object has nothing in it.
Data::Dumper will show you the same thing,
because that is the truth.
A DBI statement handle object
is a reference to an empty tied hash.
The hash is tied to an object which is implemented
(probably) with another hash that actually contains real
member data. You can see this by doing:
x tied %$sth
in the debugger. But I don't really understand what you think
you're going to accomplish by looking into the internals of
the DBI object---it's unlikely that you will find
anything there that you can 'debug'.
For most ordinary objects, you will not have to do this.
The x command will do what you want.

I see what you are saying. Basically I am trying out functionality of the debugger. I have a project to do by Monday (ahh sweet, sweet, sweet extension) and having some help on the debug will save me a lot of time. Thanks for the tip :)
