in reply to CGI::Application::Session and Inheritance

What does your cgi script look like? I suspect you should be creating an instance of myTest::module1 instead of myTest::Index and changing home() to look something like: 
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();
        $self->add_item();
        $session->param("key1","value1");  # Works as expected
        $tmpl->param(DATA => Dumper($data));

        return $tmpl->output;
}

    Here is my CGI script. pretty much taken right out of CGI::Application


    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use myTest::Index;
use strict;
my $web = myTest::Index->new();
$web->run();

      Create an instance of myTest::module1, not myTest::Index, and make the changes to home() that I gave you earlier. Your app will work now.

        Ok, sorrry I am still a little (ok, a lot) confused.
        Right now I have (cgi script)->(Index.pm)->(module1.pm)
        Are you saying I should be doing everything that requires access to my session object needs to be done in Index.pm? Or if I create an instance of module1 in my cgi script, it must be done in that module? Thanks for your insite, I will contine to try to make sense yours and Joost's sugestions. Thanks
