Hi all, I'm new to the list, but have been using Embperl for about a year and absolutely love it. I've just started using Embperl::Object and discovered a subtle issue with session management in a project with subdirectories.
I have a project in a directory called "/var/www/cms/", under which there is a directory called "login": 1. if I create a new user session by putting a value into %udat FROM A FILE IN THE TOP-LEVEL DIRECTORY, the session information will be saved properly, and all the files under this directory can access it. 2. if I create a new user session by filling %udat FROM A FILE IN THE SUBDIRECTORY, the parent directory will NOT be aware of the saved session info :-( It took me >1 hour to track down what was wrong here, and it seems to be kind of a confusing misfeature... not sure whether it's Embperl or Apache. I *think* that what happens is that if there is no session yet stored, Embperl establishes the directory of the current file as the top-level path for the new session. The problem is that this requires you to always initialize %udat in the topmost directory of your project in order to make it accessible to the whole project. So, is there any way to change this behavior? It would be nice if the session information could be linked to the EMBPERL_APPNAME, rather than the current directory. Am I just stupid, or is the current behavior potentially confusing? Thanks a lot, Dan Lenski For example: .htaccess: <Files --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
