Hi there,

I've already asked once how to use session to store a simple value and applied the answer to my code, also gone through the CGI:: Session tutorial a few times and still cannot get my code to work.

I've not touched Perl in a few years so sorry if i'm making a simple mistake.

I have two files, sesssion1.pl and session2.pl - when you click on the link printed out by session1.pl it should take you to session2.pl and print out the value stored in the session. Why is this not working?

SESSION1.PL

use CGI::Session;
use CGI;

my $cgi = new CGI;      
my $session = new CGI::Session("driver:File", $cgi, {Directory=>'/tmp'
+});    
$cookie = $cgi->cookie(CGISESSID => $session->id );
print $cgi->header(-cookie=>$cookie);


$session->param('f_name', 'Sherzod');


print '<a href="session2.pl">Page 2</a>';

SESSION2.PL

use strict;
use CGI::Session;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
use CGI;


my $cgi = new CGI;   
my $sid = $cgi->cookie("CGISESSID") || undef;

my $session = new CGI::Session("driver:File", $sid, {Directory=>'/tmp'
+});    
my $cookie = $cgi->cookie(CGISESSID => $session->id );
print $cgi->header(-cookie=>$cookie);


my $name = $session->param("l_name");

print $name;

Any help greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Steve
