I'm using CGI::Session, CGI::Application and CGI::Application::Plugin::Session. I am storing an object reference in a CGI session parameter. I then retrieve the object reference from the CGI session. However, when I try to call methods that are defined for the object reference, I receive an error "can't locate object method x via package y". Here's the basic code I'm using:

$ball = Ballsearch->new;

$ball->findball;    # Works fine

# Creates new object using CGI::Application::Plugin::Session
my $session = $self->session;

$session->param("ball", $ball);

$ball = $self->session->param("ball");

print ref($ball);    # Prints:  Ballsearch

$ball->findball;  # Error:  Can't locate object method find via packag
+e Ballsearch 

$ball->Ballsearch::findball;   # This works
