Using Apache Inbuild session handling: http://search.cpan.org/~cwest/Apache-Session-1.80/Session.pm http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/Apache-Session-Wrapper-0.26/lib/Apache/Session/Wrapper.pm To develop your own session handling: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/A/AM/AMS/Storable-2.15.tar.gz http://search.cpan.org/~neely/Data-Serializer-0.36/lib/Data/Serializer.pm	[reply]

Dear Monks, The above solution is fine, but i dont want to store the details in the file rather i would want to store the details in the Apache, is there any provision so that i can store the session details in APACHE VARIABLES.	[reply]

Hi You can use Shared Memory. Becasue Most of the OS Supports Shared Memory. For Example Cache::SharedMemoryBackend MIPSIM::Memory As per your OS you can go ahead and use the module. You can use this Memory using Shared Memory Access modules, which are available for Perl "Keep pouring your ideas"	[reply]
