Re: columns not getting updated with Class::DBI::FromCGI

Hi William,

Your version assumptions are correct, however, I do not believe it is a problem
with the object cache.  I had previously tested this by inserted a few
$obj->set($col, $data) methods into my template to check whether the
$data was being inserted into the $col.  Those manual updates had worked
by using the set() method and the column's own mutator method.  I also tried
using the column names exactly as they are and all lower-case versions.

It seems to me there is an issue with Class::DBI::FromCGI not updating the
data properly, or some misuse of it on my part.

Thanks for the tips!  I will continue my search.
