Peter, (I've marked this post as off topic, since it doesn't deal with mod_perl per se.)
Having used Apache::Session to some degree, it seems that CGI::Session is comparable in functionality. There does not seem to be any major differences between the two. It is worth noting that the latest version of Apache::Session on CPAN is v1.54, dated 11 Oct 2001. CGI::Session is v3.95, dated 26 Jun 2003. The latter also has a higher rating (4 stars, versus 3). (It would be wise to view the ratings of both of these as the person to rated Apache::Session had some interesting comments.) So perhaps it might be wise to investigate CGI::Session since it's more recent and is more likely to be under active development. Then again, maybe Apache::Session is perfect the way it is, although I doubt that. :) Good luck! --Joel >Jean-Michel Hiver wrote: >> What do you need sessions for? > >What are babies for ? :-) > >In this case, if it matters, we need sessions for user settings, >logging, preferences, authentication etc. > >> Authentication can be done using HTTP authentication without using >> cookies or URI session tracking (which is, frankly, very ugly). > >To perhaps clarify, I was not asking for advice as to whether or not to >use some sort of session management, but rather for people comments and >experience between these two (very similar looking) modules.
