Re^2: HTML::Template and authenticated sessions

It is relatively easy to track sessions using server side logic.

And how do you associate each incoming request with a given session? It's either cookies or some SID on the URL ... unless, of course, you have mastered the HTTP 3.1415926 ESP extension ...

In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)

CGI::Application::Session is an extension to CGI::Application that associates CGI::Sessions with cookies or query parameters. Easy to use, especially if you're already using CGI::Application. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Yeah, I'd like to second the above question. How the hell do you associate session id's with a client's request with out cookies? Sure you could embed session ids in the url, but that is hideously ugly and very prone to insecurities, such as sharing urls.	[reply]
