Re^4: Encrypt web form values

Thanks, fmerges.

So the recipient of the web page has no way of tampering with the session data, am I right? Could you clarify "if you're not allowing it from the server side code."? What does that mean?

Hi, No the client cannot directly tamper. Check out the tutorial, CGI::Session::Tutorial it explains you all the details. BTW take also a look at this module Data::FormValidator and taint mode. Regards, fmerges at irc.freenode.net	[reply]

The tutorial was helpful. I've yet to check out Data::ForValidator. It's reassuring to know the client cannot tamper with the data. I'll go in that direction. Thank you :)	[reply]
