The limitation here is not with template toolkit, but the HTML get and post
methods. Consider the following:
<form>
<input type='text' name='session' value='3>
<input type='hidden' name='uid' value='6'>
</form>
When that form is submitted, all the browser does is concatenate it into one
big URL string like this:
index.cgi?session=3&uid=6
The more form elements you add, the more stuff gets concatenated to the end of
the URL string.
Why your attempt won't work is that an object is not a string... the variable
[% session %] includes other stuff. What you'll need to do is create a
hidden field for EVERY member of the session object and then reassemble the
object in the subsequent script:
my $session = new Session;
$session->{uid} = $q>param('uid');
hope that helps,
Sean
