Hello monks. I am in need of advice here once again on session management. I've been working on a site for sometime now and had everything working with cgi::session. However, I just put my stuff up on the webserver and realized that the place my boss chose to use for hosting everything only supports standard components of the activestate perl engine. They will not add/remove or install third party sub components to enhance features for security reasons. Everything that comes with the standard perl engine from activestate.com is what is supported. Therefore, my question now is: What advice do you all recommend I should use for session management (login restriction, shopping cart, etc...) that is supported for activestate perl. I need something that will allow me to port what I have down in cgi::session over to the new session management scheme in a fast and effective way. Any suggestions please!
