Re: CGI::Session appears to be overwriting itself

Could it be that the cookie is not stored on the client yet because your script on the server hasn't finished sending the html-page? So when the script asks for the cookie on the second CGI::Session call the client doesn't know the cookie yet and a new session is created

No, cookie set via http headers get set immediately (I've never seen a http client do different).	[reply]

Thought of this being the issue, but I thought this stored the cookie: `print $session->header();` [download] Yes? No? Thanks. Update: I stopped the process after `write_session()` and I did have a cookie written (according to the cookies dialog in Firefox). But whe allowed to proceed to the `check_session` a new cookie and session are written. —Brad "The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men."
