The field of knowledge is too broad for any one person to maintain, especially since the main people who maintain the site docs are quite busy building mod_perl 2. This is why we count on individuals stepping up and sending in corrections to outdated things they find in the docs. > I personally like perl.apache.org as a starting point, but > it is quite restricted to mod_perl and mod_perl alone.

There are quite a few links to other sources on perl.apache.org. My basic rule of thumb is to start with the most specific source of documentation. In your case, since you are trying to use Mason, you should look on the Mason site. There you would have found a note that the article you read is outdated, and a link to the current docs:http://masonhq.com/user/adpacifico/ApacheSessionMason.html > PS: Apache::Session::DBI might be ancient, when I did some research for > this mail I stumbled upon > http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/snippets.html#An_example_of_using_Apac> > he__Session__DBI_with_cookies. Perhaps it is a good beginning to try to > keep/get outdated and ancient stuff from Our Main Source of > Information? Yes, it would definitely be good to update or remove that snippet. A patch would certainly be appreciated. - Perrin
