Check out the online demo at:
http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/eg/global_asa_demo.asp
or just site/eg/global_asa_demo.asp in the asp distribution
for an example of this kind of user tracking in $Application.
You end up having to add the information that you want
to $Application yourself, and cleaning that up in
Session_OnEnd.
Remember that if you are using SDBM_File databases
for $Application & $Session, default, you only have
1024 bytes to store the key and value, so you can't
store a lot of user data like:
$Application->{users} = \%users;
you have do do more like:
$Application->{user1} = name;
$Application->{user2} = name;
Or you could switch to DB_File for larger amounts
of data stored in one hash key.
