Mark, I take it that you're doing CGI and not mod_perl? You could persist the username and password in the session and call ars_Login on each part of the request, or build a separate daemon process that does your communications to ARS. The overhead on setting up a new control record was pretty l

I tried several ways of serializing the control record in Perl with no luck and using CGI::Session, Apache::Session, .etc.. I've given up going down that avenue. It looks like Java is the way I want to go. When is 7.1 slated for release? This summer (July maybe?) IIRC. Thanks, everyone. Again, th

Sounds like what you are trying to do is emulate the session pool/proxy that the java api provides, using arsperl. I am not sure how you would approach this. Most interpreted languages have a problem with persistence with things like this, unless there is a way to serialize the data. I'm not

Mike, You should be able to stuff the control into a session variable and hang onto it for the duration of the session if you are using mod_perl and CGI::Session or Apache::Session. One thing that the API is missing (I'm pretty sure that this is a problem with the ARS API and not perl or a misun

Forgive me for being dense, but I don't understand how one would tie a control record that was created from a login routine, for example, to a session ID or similar. Given a session ID, how does one tie that to a control record that has already been created/validated? In other words, where does t
