Session variables do not seem to be saving

adpinc61 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello!

I think I have a simple issue, but cannot seem to get it to work.

I've been using CGI::Sessions for a long time, but only recently have sent a query string to trigger a change in a session variable.

In the URL, I submit the following example:

http://myScript.pl?session_variable=myVariable

When I send "myScript" I can test and see the value of session_variable is changing, but when I save it to the Session, I have to sent the URL at least twice before it changes in the session itself.

I must have a caching problem, and I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work right.

Because URL is being referenced from another site, I must use the GET form of the query string instead of POST through a form.

Lastly, if I do a keyboard refresh (CTRL-SHIFT-R) and then send the query string, it seems to work fine.

Any help would be appreciated!

Why don't you save it to the session instead? Sounds like a logic error , maybe coping with scoping related you really should post some short code that compiles and reproduces the problem	[reply]
