Are you sure the database side is set up correctly? Can you show me your table definition? I have tests for this in the RDBO test suite and they pass for me. I just added two more tests to confirm, and they work as well. Remember, you have to use the CHKPASS column type in Postgres, which is not enabled by default. It's in the "contrib/chkpass" directory in the Postgres source code tree. Read the README.chkpass file in that dir to learn how to enable it. > I think this is probably due to the way the chkpass support has been > added, since a call to $user->password is supposed to return the > unencrypted password (which is only available when you first create > the entry).

Look at the docs here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/MakeMethods/Pg .pm#chkpass The docs for the "default" method for a chkpass column say this: "If called with no arguments, the unencrypted value is returned, if it is known. If not, undef is returned." Note the "if it is known" part. As you've noted, this value is only known when it is set. So the behavior you've described is correct, as documented. The actual column in the database will not be blanked when an object is saved, however, because RDBO will return the encrypted value when saving to the database. -John ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
