Session modules

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

Can anyone who has used both Apache::Session and CGI::Session share their experiences of these modules.

How do they compare in terms of ease of use, performance etc?

Thanks for any input. Regards, Arun.

I'd also consider Cache::Cache, which is what I use for session management. Personally I dislike the API of Apache::Session (not being a huge fan of tied hashes). CGI::Session manages the session IDs for me, and I usually want to manage them separately from the persistance layer.	[reply]

I can heartily recommend CGI::Session -- works like a champ. There is, however, a typo in the documentation: the call `$session->header` does not, as advertised, output the header -- it just generates it and returns it. You still have to print out the result. --t. alex Life is short: get busy!	[reply] [d/l]
