Re^2: Randomness encountered with CGI Session

Because it happens randomly, it was discovered by chance.

I followed up with more tests - manually - and confirmed the existence of the unexpected behaviour.

I'm clueless at this point - it's a bit like you have a variable set to "Hello World" and it's always printing "Hello World" but once in the blue moon you see "hello there" printed ;)

Clueless about what? You contend there is a problem with CGI::Session, it happens randomly, but that you've confirmed it manually. Great, here is how you go about fixing it.	[reply]

I didn't mean to say there is a problem with CGI::Session directly. I said I had encountered a problem (a strange phenomenon that happens randomly) when using CGI::Session. With a good night's sleep, I was able to run more tests and came out with new hypotheses about how the bug was triggered. But I need to confirm these hypotheses with real users. So I've taken your advice - thanks :) - to do logging at suspicious points in my code. I was clueless yesterday because I was looking at the code and could not figure out any parts that could trigger that bug, so I wouldn't know what to log and where.	[reply]
