Perrin,
I appreciate your replying but the deletion is being done after the call to find_or_create. For whatever reason when CGI is packaging up the hidden field in the form that sets id='' it does it in a way that Class::DBI sees as other than undef. Deleting the $q->param does not solve this. However, having Template-Toolkit conditionally print the hidden field based on whether id is deined does solve the problem. No param named id unless it is defined. Still, it is odd to me that Class::DBI would have this behavior. Thank you for your attention to my dilemma!
Peas and hominy,
jg

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
