I ended up using CGI::Session..

The access is all via 128 Verisign cert.. so no probs there..

CGI::Session also has an "ip check" feature you can turn on to make sure a
login ID has the same IP each time.
It also allows me to "expire" a session if its not been used for 15
minutes..

It does alot of other cool stuff.. including the storage of anything you
want in the session data.. so you can save data between itinerations of the
script.. (I'll eventually move to mod_perl, but for now this will be fine..
its all taint mode, using strict and warnings reporting no errors etc.. so
mod_perl should be easy to swap to later.)

Also if you use CGI::Session with MySQL, you get the added benefit of the db
username/password.
(The default mode of CGI::Session is to save state info into a session file
in a tmp dir somewhere..)

Its a very useful module.. together with CGI::Application and HTML::Template
they are my favorite modules..
Till I find a better one.. (I change favorites alot while searching CPAN :-)

Frank,

I've not yet spent any time learning to use the modules for PERL but you're really getting me wound up about the one's you've mentioned. know where a fella could find the docs to start learning to use the mods you've mentioned?
