I haven't used CGI::Session at all (and thus have no reason to say you shouldn't use it). Glancing at the docs, CGI::Session looks to be both more comprehensive and thus less flexible. Apache::Session doesn't set cookies for you, track expiration times, or any other things. It just: -associates a unique id with a data structure -persistantly stores said data structure -recalls said data structure given the id again This lets me track sessions with it, but also use it as persistant memory that can be shared across apps. At the same time, To do CGI sessions with it I have some additional work to do. (Though since I tend to write mod_perl handlers to do authentication and session maintenance, I like that part). Seems to me you have no real reason to change, but I'd recommend checking out the docs to add it to your mental toolbox for the future. -- SwiftOne suppressed --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/suppressed/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: suppressed For additional commands, e-mail: suppressed
