^ I agree, but now I'm stuck having tried to implement one of the packaged solutions, and having incomplete success. I can't find where the problem is. I made an earlier post about it (Apache::Session::MySQL) and have gotten no response. So there's a trade off between exhausting oneself trying multiple prebuilt solutions only to fail at implementing them and starting with a new one each time and the choice of DIY. I know better than to DIY on something like this, but i'm already on my third attempt with a different set of modules. :(
