Re: CGI perl

From what I can tell the following links tell you everything you need to know:
http://search.cpan.org/~sherzodr/CGI-Session-3.95/Session.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~sherzodr/CGI-Session-3.95/Session/Tutorial.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~sherzodr/CGI-Session-3.95/Session/MySQL.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~sherzodr/CGI-Session-3.95/Session/CookBook.pm

I know this is blasphemy around here, but IMHO for any web application that needs some kind of session PHP is much better than Perl at handling it.

PHP insane defaults by dorward (Curate) on May 26, 2005 at 13:03 UTC
I won't comment on Perl Vs PHP for handling sessions (since I've never written anything in Perl that uses sessions), but PHP does have insane default settings for its session handling. IIRC the developers won't change the defaults because they are terrified that browsers won't be able to handle HTML without any errors in it.	[reply]

I've just read that referenced node. Are you kidding me? PHP doesn't entitize the HTML in a link? Amazing. It's simply crazy that PHP hasn't fallen over with all the bad things still being done in it. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
