in reply to Rejected Cookies and Session IDs

CGI::Application::Plugin::Session nicely integrates CGI::Application and CGI::Session so take a look at it.

To handle the possibility of some browsers not accepting cookies, it would be much simpler to just send the session cookies AND put the session ids into your urls (Amazon uses this approach).

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

    Arunbear,
    Some people may be concerned about using CGI::Application::Plugin::Session because by self admission, it is alpha software. I recently had an opportunity to have an email exchange with the author about this point. You see, CGI::Session doesn't play well with CGI::Simple but the current work around has already been integrated into CGI::Application::Plugin::Session - what's a hacker to do? I was informed that the alpha label was no longer applicable and that it would be removed from the next release and I shouldn't have any worries about using it in production code now.

    Cheers - L~R
