From the info you have provided, I don't see how you intend to use the session id, after you extract it.

It seems to me that you want to save user logon credentials and attributes. You don't need session ID's for that - just use session variables, such as :

 # Set a session variable
#
$Session->Contents->SetProperty('Item', 'USERNAME', $userFromForm); 

# Access the Session USER variable
#
 $user = $Session->Contents->Item('USERNAME');

Thanks for your reply.

Here is what I am trying to do:

When the users logon to my site, I need to capture the sessionID that is issued by my IIS (after validating their username and password) to identify my user's valid session.

Could not get around to accessing the session id from a .pl script. So I wrote a .asp(vbscript) to capture the sessionid of a browser and a separate .pl program which gets the results of this .asp page.

But the trick is when I try to capture the results from the .asp page, the session id keeps changing. I need to get the session id that was issued to the .asp script.
