Hi,

I'm new to the list but I've searched the archives of the list and can't find 
anything even related to this question.

I am using Sessions with Memcached. My config:

Authentication
Authorization::Roles
Authorization::ACL 
Session
Session::State::Cookie
Session::Store::Memcached

Calls to $c->user->get( '<user db field name>' ) [in a Mason template using 
View::HTML::Mason] return values that are not the ones I should see.

For instance:

I login as 'ric', my $c->user->get( 'first_name' ) should return "Ric"

But I randomly get (depending on which Apache server instance I hit) a 
first_name associated with some other user's session. So I open 4 browsers and 
log in as 4 different users.

If I go back to ANY of the 4 browsers (FF, IE, Safari, Chrome) and refresh the 
page that prints $c->user->get( 'first_name' ) over and over and I get a random 
sampling of the 4 users logged in and even some empty strings. (Don't know if 
that's related.) It's clearly showing the info for the first user that logged 
in under that copy of the Apache web server session.

I've even called $c->user before $c->user->get() [as opposed to 
$c->user_exists] to be sure to pull user info back from the db--to no avail. 

[Guessing Starts Here]
It seems like when the $c->user data is retrieved, it gets stuck into the 
memory space of the webserver. Then it never reloads that info from disk or 
memcached.

I can't even say this is peculiar to ::Memcached because when I was using 
::FastMmap, I was having to many other issues with the shared disk file and 
permissions so I abandoned it for Memcached.

So anything you could do to help would be very . . . helpful. -- King Arthur,

Thanks,
