I can't seem to get Apache::Session to save the blessedness of an object.
Is this an oversight on my part, a limitation of the module, a limitation
of the database, or an intentional design decision?
Conceptually, it seems as though an objects blessing is stored in a
different place in the Perl guts than its contents. Is the problem just
that Apache::Session never saves this information to the database?
Has anyone else had occasion to do this?
An example in Perl:
# %session is a hash tied to a DB with Apache::Session 1.51
package main;
my $dog_obj = { name => 'Fido', breed => 'Mutt' };
bless ($dog_obj, 'Dog');
$dog_obj->bark();
$session{my_dog} = $dog_obj;
# The following line dies with an error:
# cannot call method bark on unblessed reference.
$session{my_dog}->bark();
package Dog;
sub bark {
my $self = shift;
print "Woof! I'm $self->{name}";
}
