Title: RE: Set Session Variable Module Anyone?

In Perl you will need to generate your own unique session identifier and then use either cookies or hidden fields to pass that info until no longer needed.   You can also store the info on a related file server-side but this has some cleanup implications if sessions are terminated and the file not deleted by your app in the normal way.   There is no reason at all to think you can't use any of the normal modules as far as I know - or any API calls for that matter - to do any of this if you know a modules that you would like to use.   hth   Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Meegan Goad To: 'Chouda, Prem' ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 4:24 PM Subject: RE: Set Session Variable Module Anyone? I didn't mean they won't work... I meant I don't want to use them.. I want to use a session like you can in ASP, VB, Java, etc... I just haven't figured out how to do it in PERL yet... So If anyone wants to help me on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.. Or at least point me in the right direction.   Thanks Meegan   -----Original Message----- From: Chouda, Prem [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 2:15 PM To: 'Meegan Goad'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Set Session Variable Module Anyone? i DON'T Know why u said Cookies will not work.. ??? well you can destroy the cookie when you no more want to give admin privilege to the user..

I know I'm probably asking a stupid question, but does anyone know of a module that helps set session variables? I have some admin pages that need to have session capabilities so that if someone logouts of the admin section, they stay logged out. Cookies will not work here and hidden form variables won't either. The program is written in pure win32 perl and is accessed using the .pl extension therefore using the Win32:: won't work.. or will it? Which one? Thanks in advance. I know there has to be an easy one Meegan _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl
