Dear Monks, For past 8 months am working with perl command line programing. Now I need to create web programs using Perl CGI. I need help in creating session or cookies and maintaining through out the linked web pages. Following is my web page design. 1(DONE it). I will enter username and password in login window ("Login.html") and it will be passed to "Page1.cgi" using POST method. 2(Need help). In "page1.cgi" I need to check the credentials passed and create session for the logged in user and navigate to "page2.cgi". 3. From page2, I will navigate to some other pages. 4(Need help). I need the session to be expired for an idle minute or by users intention to logout the session. 5(Need help). I need to check the session in all pages whether its exist or expired. Please help me with above queries. Thanks, Jeyabal
