hi guys, i've got some doubts about using the module CGI::Session, i've got a couple of cgi scripts my main purpose is to create a login page at this location

http://localhost//cgi-bin//login.pl


after login is verified i will go into say

http://localhost//cgi-bin//options.pl


i am creating a login so that if ppl change the login.pl to options.pl, they won't be able to access options.pl so they need to login but to do this i need to use CGI::Session i know now that initializing it is something like 
CGI::Session->name("SID");
$session = new CGI::Session();
$cookie = $cgi->cookie( -name   => $session->name,
                          -value  => $session->id );
print $cgi->header( -cookie=>$cookie );

however how do i know if i'm still in a session after my login page? so i'm not really sure about the codes and stuff, how do i do it to ensure i fullfill the above conditions? hope u all understand :)
