%udat persistence problem...S.O.S.

[Hello]

Hi,   Here is another weird thing. I'm use MySQL database for Embperl session persistence. On one of my PCs, the %udat works for Netscape 4.x but won't works for IE5. So, I wrote a small test script to isolate the problem:   [+ $udat{test}++ +]    Under Netscape4.x, it showed 0, 1, 2, 3,...etc. I inspected into the table "sessions" and found only one row, ie. session id. This is correct.   But under IE5.0, it showed 0, 0, 0, 0, .... etc. In this case, i found Embperl inserted a row per session into table "sessions", each with different session id.   More weird, on another Windows 98 PC of mine, it worked for both browsers with the same test script. I cannot see any difference between configurations of the two PCs.   Could you please advise me where might be wrong or any trouble shooting techniques? Thanks a lot.   Best Regards, Huang-Ming     ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Richter To: Hello ; Embperl@Perl. Apache.
