[cgiapp] Re: OT: Class::DBI passing data to templates

[Michael Cameron <suppressed>]

Thanks all for the feedback. I ended up just fixing my param method like so:

sub param{
 my $class = shift;
 my $name=shift;
 my $val=shift;
 return $class->columns() unless $name;
 return $class->set($name=>$val) if $val;
 return $class->get($name);
}

and passing the object in via associate.  Works for my simple purposes. ;)
