Umm, use Apache::DBI, that's what it's for.

I haven't been 100% happy with any of the systems written by other people so I've always just written my own. It's a rather simple process. Right now I have one method that uses cookies in one module, another that uses cookies but splits things up into separate modules, and a third that adds a (md5 hash) parameter to the URI. All work very well, though I prefer the cookie method myself. If there's really nothing out there to add a hash to the URI, I could probably be convinced to package up the code I have, simple as it may be. -- Michael Stella | Sr. Unix Engineer / Developer | http://www.thismetalsky.org Knowledge is power.
