Hi Eric, > I found a pretty useful article at > http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4143 on how to use > Apache::Session with Mason. I wrote a tutorial on session management with HTML::Mason and Apache::SessionManager (a wrapper around Apache::Session) available at: http://search.cpan.org/author/ENRYS/Apache-SessionManager-0.06/SessionManager/cookpod.pod#Apache::SessionManager_WITH_HTML::Mason I hope that it will be useful for you. Yes, I know, now there is a Mason extension to handle sessions (not in the Mason core), _but_: 1) when I wrote Apache::SessionManager, the extension wasn't yet available :-) (moreover A::SM has a session expiration/inactivity built-in cleanup mechanism) 2) with Apache::SessionManager you can use session object also in other Apache life request phases than Response phase (for example I need session in Authentication phase). With MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession you cannot (if I not mistake) 3) There is no way to use URI session tracking (session id is embedded in left side of the URI) In all other case, MasonX::Request::WithApacheSession works fine. by - Enrico
