Problems with CGI::Session in Perl David Staschover 08-08-2005

Hi,

I'm trying to set up sessions in perl.

session1.cgi defines a new session and sets a cookie. In session2.cgi, the
correct session id is returned from the cookie, but when I initialize the
session, a new session is created.

The example is below. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

- David

session1.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Session;
use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI;
$session = new CGI::Session(undef,undef,);
$cookie = $cgi->cookie(CGISESSID => $session->id);
print $cgi->header( -cookie=>$cookie );
$sid=$session->id;
print "Session ID is $sid<br>";
print '<a href="session2.cgi">Link to session2.cgi</a>';
exit;


session2.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI::Session;
use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI;
$sid=$cgi->cookie("CGISESSID")­;
$session = new CGI::Session(undef,$sid,);
print "Original Session ID is $sid<br>";
$sid = $session->id();
print "New Session ID $sid<br>";
exit;

Is anything actually getting created in /tmp/sessions/?

If not, check permissions. CGI::Sessions seems to return successfully
even when it should not.
