unblessed error

first, let me apologize for my ignorance as i'm a trial and error programmer. i'm trying to do something that seems it should be easy. when i modify a record in dbman SQL, i want to automatically set a field to the current date. the following code is already in the script to set a userid field:

Code:
   $self->{cgi}->{$self->{cfg}->{'auth_user_field'}} = $self->{user}->{Username};

so i tried adding the following:

Code:
    use GT::Date qw/:all/; 
    $self->{cgi}->$self->{glb_cfg}->{default_updated_field} = GT::Date::date_get();

and get the following error:
Can't call method "Dbsql::Home=HASH(0x11b86c)" on unblessed reference at Dbsql::Home::modify_record line 34.
what am i missing please???

Hi,

What is it you are trying to achieve? Setting a default value for a field? If so, this should be possible in the DBManSQL admin area (just set a default for the field)

Cheers

the default value seems to be working, which is the date the record is added. but i want to update a Rec_updated_date field each time a record is modified.

MMm, stab in the dark - but try:

$self->{cgi}->{$self->{glb_cfg}->{default_updated_field}} = GT::Date::date_get();
