I never thought of using storable.
I haven't actually done much work w/cookies and perl before
I thought i could just place an object in the tied session variable and 
voila!

I'll try some session storable stuff now --

I'm basically trying to store the UserProfile object into the session, 
so I can use the methods I've made to access data in it rather than 
accessing the data directly (ideally, so that less things break in the 
future)
