Re^2: CGI::Session session expiration problems

$s = new CGI::Session("driver:file", undef, {Directory=>'/tmp'});
$s->expire('+15m');
[download]

What I want is to expire the session if no activity. What I get is: session expires after 15m even if there is activity.

It expires when atime() - ctime() eq expire() even if the user is alive.

Any clues?

I don't see anything in the documentation that suggests this behaviour. So, maybe print out the three times and debug from there. The ctime of a file cannot be changed (without erasing and recreating the file), at least on unixish filesystems. But maybe CGI::Session never sees your changing atime.	[reply]

Are you sure that passing a number to `->expire()` is the right way to specify a relative offset? From reading the documentation, I would try to use `'+15m'` or maybe `'+900'`. I think giving it a plain number means you give it the epoch time, which in your case would expire all sessions after `1970-01-01 00:14:59`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
