[freeside] Can't call method "table" on an undefined value at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/FS/Record.pm line 1121

[No Spam]

Yes, I have p5-DBIx-DBSchema-0.24 installed; the version of Storable
that I am runnning is p5-Storable-2.13.   I'm installed FreeBSD 5.3 on
this box, it has the latest Perl modules installed.

I wasn't sure if this was an issue with HTML::Mason or not, so I tried
Apache::ASP and I experienced the same problems with passing empty
variables from the forms to the database (according to a previous
thread in the mailing list, this is a mod_perl bug).

Thank you.
