Re: Value for session set in CGI::Session is undef

[VinsWorldcom]

In your "main program", you call:

print Dumper($logged_in, $session->param('user'));

But, $session isn't defined. It is defined (with "my" and the the "new CGI::Session()" call in the subroutine) and not passed back.

Try doing the $session = new... call in the main program and passing both the $session and $user variables to the sub.

Every poster was correct pointing out that $session was not defined in my calling program. Duh!

So, I tried this first:

my $logged_in = write_session( $user );

my $session = CGI::Session->load();
print Dumper($logged_in, $session->param('user'));

which I thought would be the proper way to do it, but ended up following your advice with:

my $session = new CGI::Session();
my $logged_in = write_session( $session, $user );

print Dumper($logged_in, $session->param('user'));

which did the trick. Thanks.
