Hi Monks
I'm have a perl backed web site that does authentication etc, but I have a issue I was wanting some advice on.

If I log in as user A go to a node all works as expected.
i.e. http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/node.cgi?id=101 
Hello User A,

blah blah blah

[download]


Then I log out user A and log in user B and goto the same page as the first user (the page was actually owned by user A, I just paste the link), it displays the same info, saying that its user A logged as before not user B.
i.e. 
Hello User A,

blah blah blah

[download]

instead of 
Hello User B,

not your page, bugger off

[download]

Now if you shift refresh the browser it works, so I'm thinking that the page must be cached.... How do I get around the pages being cached? I was thinking maybe it might have been because of my Content-type being 'text/html' and maybe that means 'ok there must not be any dynamic content so send the cached copy', but now I'm not so sure because if it ran the script to get to the header it would have displayed the rest correctly.
Any thoughts...?

Regards Paul
