> Have tried using CGI::Session (3.95, 4.10, 4.20) but am continually seeing two issues that appear to still be open issues with the latest (is it the final?) release.
What issues are you having trouble with? Mark is one of the more responsive CPAN authors around, and my experiences with CGI::Session have been good. -- That's excellent news - its probably operator error. 1. First problem is that refreshing the screen often (not always) results in a new session being generated: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=17299 With these failures, I can see the browser session in the filesystem, its not expired, but it is not picked up with load(). 2. Other one is that I see new session ID's in the browser but not always on the server (filesystem): http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24285 Am using CGI.pm's function-oriented style so I don't have a CGI object. The 4.10 doc for CGI::Session 4.10 shows saving params without an object, but when I try I get an error indicating the first arg has to be an object. So, am using the following: my $session = CGI::Session->load(undef, undef, {Directory=>'/tmp/sessions'}); if ( $session->is_expired ) { print "is_expired.<br>"; $errmsg = "Your session expired. Please refresh your browser to re-start your session"; } if ( $session->is_empty ) { print "is_empty.<br>"; $session = $session->new(undef, undef, {Directory=>'/tmp/sessions'}); $session->expire('+15m'); $session->param('Auth', 'N'); $session->save_param(undef,['Auth']); } Also, the 4.10 doc writes: $session = new CGI::Session(undef, undef, {Directory=>'../tmp/sessions'}); I've tried "../tmp/sessions" and "/tmp/sessions". Have never seen anything in "../tmp/sessions" (relative to "/cgi-bin" or DOC ROOT) but I do see sessions (sometimes) appear in "/tmp/sessions". Happen to know if the syntax is relative (../), or absolute (/)? Note that both of these errors were seen in 4.x. Never got the 3.95 to save an object, but just read that it needs a flush(). Thanks much. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
