I recently began using CGI::Application and HTML::Template to make better CGI apps. I started to add Apache::Session::File and to control session data. I currently have an email app and do not want the message body on the URL line when going to the next run mode. I got Apache Session working but when going to the next run mode a new session is created. It seems that sub Setup is running every time the app is called and I don't think that is right? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Todd Cox NCI Network Support Rockville, MD 
 

sub setup {
      my $self = shift;
      $self->start_mode('mode1');
      $self->run_modes(
                  'mode1' => 'showSelectGroup',
                  'mode2' => 'showSelectGroupEmail',
                  'mode3' => 'showComposeMessage',
                  'mode4' => 'showConfirm'

      );
      $self->tmpl_path("c:/Apache/htdocs/ncimail/");
      my @prop;
      # Store the properties in a file so it is easily changed.
      open(PROP,"c:/apache/prop/ldap.properties") || die "Can't open l
+dap.properties for reading!";
      
      while(<PROP>)
      {
         chomp;
         push(@prop, $_);

      }

      close(PROP);
      my $hostname = $prop[4];
      my $search_dn = $prop[5];
      my $search_pwd = $prop[6];
      my $scope = $prop[7];
      my $port = $prop[8];


      my $ldap = Net::LDAPS->new($hostname,port => $port,timeout => TI
+MEOUT) or die "Can't connect to LDAP server " . $hostname;
      my $result = $ldap->bind($search_dn, password => $search_pwd, ve
+rsion => 3);
      my $error = $result->error();
    if($error ne "Success")
    {
      print ("<BR>LDAP Bind Error: $error<br>");
            exit;
      }
      
      my %session;
      my $id;
      tie %session, 'Apache::Session::File', $id, {Directory => 'c:/ap
+ache/tmp/sessions', LockDirectory => 'c:/apache/tmp/lock'};
      my $session_id = $session{_session_id};
      $self->param('session_id' => $session_id);
