the perl script is a seperate cgi file that is called from the asp page

the session variables, however, are set with vbscript in an asp page...

    Okay then, unless you can figure something out using COM objects you won't be able to access them easilly. Try getting ASP to store them in a SQL database and see if you can find them in there, or else make your VBScript store them in a different way, like writing them to a file or database table. Microsoft's session handling is proprietary, so the only way to get access to it is to reverse engineer it.
      If there's a reasonable number of values involved,and you know which ones you'll need, I'd think it would be simpler to pass them to the CGI script as form values. Is the CGI script being called by a form submit, or just a link, or what?
