That's exactly what I was doing. Note I had switched to
CGI::Application::Plugin::Session, but I belive the principle is the same.
However, with CGI::Simple, I needed to set the Session ID explicitly to get
things to work, rather than use the CGI query:
my $sid = $query->cookie('CGISESSID') || undef;
# Configure the session
$self->session_config(
CGI_SESSION_OPTIONS =>
[ "driver:File", $sid, { Directory => 'c:/temp' } ],
COOKIE_PARAMS => { -expires => '+1h', },
SEND_COOKIE => 1,
);
The advantage of the plugin is that
A) When using CGI.pm, none of the code above is required (unless the
defaults need to be changed - I use Windows for development, so my temp
directory is explicitly set).
B) It's lazy loading
ASIDE: Cees, what's your feeling about using a different default directory
depending on the OS?

Strange. I'm doing nearly exactly the same upgrading Dan is doing
and using CGI::Simple and CGI::Session thusly:
[snip]
use CGI::Session;
[snip]
sub cgiapp_get_query {
my $self = shift;
require CGI::Simple;
my $query = CGI::Simple->new();
return $query;
}
I haven't exercised it enough but seems to be working fine.
Is it possible CGI.pm is being loaded and used somehow? How
can one tell? I did just upgrade with CPAN all modules on 5.8.2.
