The Apache::ASP $Session object is tied to a SDBM_File or DB_File via MLDBM
Data::Dumper. Therefore you cannot simply store a reference using "\@c" and
expect it to dereference next time. Use an anonymous array [] or anonymous
hash {}.
Try this:
@c[0]={'k1','v1','k2','v2'};
@c[1]={'k3','v3','k4','v4'};
$Session->{'array'} = [ @c ];
print $Session->{'array'}->[0]->{'k1'},"\n";
@e = @{$Session->{'array'}};
print $e[0]{'k1'},"\n";
DBI handles should be storable also, just be sure to use anonymous hash
syntax, since they are blessed hashes.
