I don't. If that's a problem, don't use it that way ;) Actually, the way I'm using it is to grab the user's user id for my site from their cookie. It's pretty flexible because you can just provide it a subroutine to call to get some sort of identifier for the requestor. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/ -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
