Re: [cgiapp] C:A:P:Session Q: How to Pass-Along ID to re-connect to previous session

[Jason Purdy <suppressed>]

Uh, nevermind.  I just had to think about and play around with it some 
more.  Sorry about the bandwidth.

Here's my answer:

sub cgiapp_init {
  my ( $self, $id );

  $self = shift;
  $id = $self->query()->param( 'CGISESSID' );
  $self->session_config(
	CGI_SESSION_OPTIONS => [ "driver:File", $id, 
{Directory=>'/tmp/fbm_sessions/giftsubs'} ],
	SEND_COOKIE         => 0,
  );
}
