Thank you everyone for the quality of help I've so far received and your rapid responses. However... :-(
My code now includes: 35: # Session handler... 36: my %session; undef my $session_id; 37: use Apache::Session::MySQL; 38: tie %session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $session_id, 39: { DataSource => 'dbi:mysql:sessions', UserName => 'db_user', Password => 'secret' }; 40: $session_id = "session_id=$session{_session_id};"; I am using Apache-Session v1.54. The above code generates the following error: [Thu Nov 22 10:31:38 2001] [error] PerlRun: `Can't connect( HASH(0xbdcf54)), no database driver specified and DBI_DSN env var not set at E:/Apache/site/lib/Apache/Session/Lock/MySQL.pm line 36 (in cleanup) Can't connect( HASH(0x47e2f14)), no database driver specified and DBI_DSN env var not set at E:/Apache/site/lib/Apache/Session/Lock/MySQL.pm line 36' So, as you can see, I've moved on a little - but still don't have a working session handler. Any offers? Note: I know how boring it is to keep reading the same thread - I'll drop it if I don't solve this today. Kindest regards, Jonathan M.
