Re: Security/Ease of use Question

But out of the two I mentioned, which would work the best in terms of general ease AND protection of info? I don't really want to mess around with Session until I understand it, and this project is getting a bit pressing...

Neither are secure, and both have other issues too (for instance, a browser is only required to remember 300 bytes of cookie data per site IIRC) I think hidden fields are easier to understand and debug, and I can't see if you really need the security. Still, I'd go for CGI::Session. It takes a little time to figure sessions out, but once you do, you really don't want do without them.
