With errors like this, the variable ($host in this case) was probably
initialized to something other than you think. Probably the best thing
to do is ensure:

 - $R->host returns the class for your object
 - $host is an object rather than just a hashref. (Data::Dumper can be
your best friend for this)

so add:

 use Data::Dumper qw( Dumper );

at the top of your handler, then do something like:

    # New
    $R->scrib( 1, "Host class is [", $R->host, "] and ",
                  "host is: ", Dumper( $host ) );

    # Existing
    if ($apr->param("delete".$i) eq "yes") {
            $host->remove({DEBUG => 5});
    } else {
            $host->save({DEBUG => 5});
    }

As long as your server is set to debugging level 1 or above. Hopefully
the results will be illuminating.
