Yes, though I don't know how serious that threat is with this particular method. Jeff would really be the one to ask. Coding around its removal wouldn't really be that difficult, anyway. cheers, Todd
Re: Apache::Session not updating session
Okay, thank you all for your suggestions. It was the deep modifications
that were killing me. I just did a handy-dandy:
$session{timestamp} = time;
and that fixed everything.
