Hello and Good Day,
I have a question about holding state. I have a large-scale application (web
based), and I use a uniquely identified text file to keep track of the user
as he surfs my site. As the product gets larger, so does this state text
file: (below is an actual text file). So what occurs here is that I put in a
hidden number that correlates with the below text file. And each time the
user does a submit and begins a session, I read the below file, put it into
a hash and off we go again.
My problem is that I am starting to have some speed issues. I am wondering
if a "Cookie" would be faster, and if it is, is the below data too much data
for a cookie.?
I understand what a cookie does, but I have never created one. So if a
cookie may be the best way to go, with this large amount of information,
would you tell me if the cgi.pm module is best for this, or how I should
possibly approach this challenge, or just stay my course with the text file.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate any input.
Scott Purcell
