Hi, Me and my roommate are attempting to design a perl based website. We cant figure out a way for a user to log in, then stay logged in, so that every form they fill out, or comment they make, some how sends their username in with it. For example, if they wanted to make a post on a BB, I would like it so that once they logged in, every script that they activate, or call, would know that it is their username calling it? The way we have it now is that the user actually has to put the username/pw every time they do something which edits 'their' file or they make a post which shows credit towards them. I would like it so they can log in once, per visit, or even with a "remember me" function, so that they could make infinte posts, among other things, in which the scripts would recognize the request as from them?

Thank you very much

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
