Hi All,

I encountered something unusual with Perl 5.14.2.

I am using DBIx::Class to query my database. The data object is returned to Root to be passed to a View.
I pass the data object to the View via $c->flash. However, in the View it has a problem dereferencing the
data object.

For example, I query a person's name and address and store it in bio_object. Then I pass it to $c->flash like so:

In Root.pm:

 my $bio_obj = $model->get_bio_info( $id );
 $c->flash->{ 'bio' } = $bio_obj;
 $c->res-redirect( 'myviewpage' );

In myviewpage, using Mason in HTML page:

   <p>My name is <% $bio->name %><br />
   My residence is at <% $bio->address %>

   
<%init>
my $bio = $c->flash->{ 'bio' } if $c->flash->{ 'bio' };
</%init>

[download]

The view error message states it cannot find the method 'name' or 'address'. However, I created a test script
that calls the same query method, "get_bio_info". I display the results without issues, using a print statement.

Has anyone experienced this before?
