RE: [Perl-unix-users] Perl Login

[Eli Jehoel]

Title: Message

I prefer setting up a session number, saving that to a hash with username and password. Every request the browser does something like http://www.yourdomain.com/perlscript.pl?session=2uoiu29823u923u298343i2 and the script checks if the session hasn't expired yet. If it hasn't it checks if the username and password match. If there is a match, the script returns the requested data, otherwise not. I've done something like this for http://www.postmenderks.nl/.

It's my experience that you would have to verify the
login for each request.

This can be easily done by storing the
username/password in a cookie, and then reading that
cookie, and querying the database for correct
user/pass combo on each request.

If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know!
