Greetings,

I cannot avoid pointing out that my personal experience with Apache::Session on Apache, mod_perl and Win32 was not one of the best, at least as far as file locking was concerned.

Basically, I could never get locking to to work, except in the very narrow sense of deadlocking the whole shebang.
At the time (it was more than a year ago) I blamed it on the interaction between Apache 1.3 hack-threaded architecture and the serverwide interpreter lock imposed by mp1 (not that I investigated it really deeply). I also think I remember seeing posts - on the modperl list - mentioning similar problems.

All this may or may not be an issue with IIS - I just thought you should be aware of this.
Cheers,
alf
