Sorry about the confusion. Basically, I have a member's page. I want them to have access to the restricted areas of the sites once they register. In order to track their login I'm using CGI::Session. But say, they leave the page, I set a cookie in /tmp/Sessions with the session id.

When they return to the member's area it will check if the cookie is found and then recreate that old session with the username and session id.

The only reason I pass the session ID is because I was testing it from the command prompt. Should have removed that before I posted..

I tried implementing your solution, but that doesn't work either. I go to my site, login, and go to a member area page that checks to see if a user is logged in and it redirects me back to the login/register page as it cannot find the session.

Same as before. Thanks for the help though...still thinking about it.
