hi, i am trying to use cgi::session, but no luck yet. index.html has form which gets user credentials, matches them with mysql databases values, and if right, then sets a session otherwise shows login.html

    # create a new session     
    my $session = CGI::Session->new() or die CGI::Session->errstr;    
    print $session->header();    
    #setting session to expire in 1 hour                              
    $session->expire("+1h");
    #further in page
    # logout option    
    print "<a href='logout.cgi'>logout </a></br>";
    # check option    
    print "<a href='check.cgi'>check page</a>"

this page gives output properly, it gnerates session id, but when i click on check page link, it doesn't show me session info and i always get "no session" message.

# cgi page
my $cgi = CGI->new;
#print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html();
print $cgi->p("hello");
print $cgi->cookie('CGISESSID');
# load session info
my $session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
print $session->header();
if ($session->is_empty) 
{
    print $cgi->p("no session");
    }
    else
    {
    print $cgi->p("<b>session data loaded</b>");
    print $session->name;    
    print $session->id;
    print $session->is_expired;
    }
print $cgi->end_html();

and this is code in logout.cgi

# Delete the session for good:
my $session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
$session->delete();
$session->flush();
print $session->header(-location=>'http://localhost');

what am i doing wrong?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
