Hi,
I have copied the following Perl CGI code from internet and modefied the same to hold values in the session.

But I donot have any idea about the procedure to retrieve the values from session. Kindly help me.

The code of first page is as follows and I need help with code for second page to retrive values from session.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;
use CGI::Session;
use CGI;

my $db_name="aa";
my $db_host="bb";
my $db_user="cc";
my $db_pass="dd";
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$db_name;
host=$db_host", "$db_user","$db_pass", {PrintError => 1, RaiseError =>
+ 1, AutoCommit => 1});

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $sid = $cgi->cookie('SessionId') || $cgi->param('SessionId') || und
+ef;
my $session = new CGI::Session("driver:MySQL;<br>id:MD5", undef, {Hand
+le=>$dbh});

print "session : $session ";
if ( $session->is_expired ) {
  print "Your session is expired. Please Login";
  }
  else {
      print "Session is not expired";
  }
if (!$sid) {
  print "No Session Exists. Please Login";
  }
#Active Session;
if ($session_user && $session_pass) {
  print "Username and Password are present";
  }
elsif (!$session_user || !$session_pass) {
  #Account Error. Username or Password not present. Please Login
  }
$session->expire(1800);
print "Session ID : $session->id ";
$cookie = $cgi->cookie(SessionId => $session->id );
    print $cgi->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
$x=$cgi->cookie('SessionId');

$session->param('username', "myname");
$y=$session->param('username');
print "From Session : $y";
$name=$session->param('SessionId');
print "Value from Session : $x ";
$session->save_param();
$dbh->disconnect();
print "<form name=testsession method=post action='def.cgi'>";
print "<input type=submit value=submit> </form>";
exit;
