| Hi,
I am using the CGI::Session module with ActivePerl in IIS server in
Windows 2000 environment.
I have 2 files to test. test.cgi and test2.cgi.
Test.cgi
########################################
######
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Session;
use Win32::ODBC;
my $cgi = new CGI;
## Creating a new session
my $session = CGI::Session->new(undef, undef,
{Directory=>"C:/WINNT/TEMP/"});
my $cookie;
$session->expire('+1h');
##Writing to the cookie
$cookie = $cgi->cookie(
-name=>"CGISESSID",
-value=>$session->id(),
-expires=>'+1h');
print $cgi->header( -cookie=>$cookie );
print start_html(-title=>'Main Page'));
$session->dump(File::Spec->tmpdir()."\\log1.txt");
print "<A HREF=\"test2.pl\">",$session->id(),"</A>";
print end_html;
The cookie is written , I verified it and the session file is also
created. Now I click to open the test2.pl page.
Test2.pl
########################################
#########################
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Session;
use Win32::ODBC;
my $cgi = new CGI;
$sid = $cgi->cookie("CGISESSID");
$session = CGI::Session->new("driver:File" ,$sid ,
{Directory=>"C:/WINNT/TEMP" });
print header,
start_html(-title=>'Main Page'));
print $sid," ", $session->id()," ",Directory=>File::Spec->tmpdir() ;
$session->dump(File::Spec->tmpdir()."\\log2.txt");
print end_html;
########################################

The variable $sid takes the session id correctly from the cookie. I
verified that too. However, the module is creating a new session even
though $sid is not undef and the file for the session created earlier
exists.
Why is this happening?
To debug, I manually took the session id from the cookie and
substituted to create session.
That is, I replaced,
$session = CGI::Session->new("driver:File" ,$sid
,Directory=>"C:/WINNT/TEMP" });
by,
$session = CGI::Session->new("driver:File"
,"a9fb13d7b6af8b8b9954a69312780eb1", {Directory=>"C:/WINNT/TEMP" });
in test2.pl and ran the perl script in command prompt (and not
through the server), using, perl test2.pl.
This time, it recognized the previous session and did not create a new
session file.
So, I think the problem is somewhere in IIS configuration. Has
anybody experienced this problem before??
If so, please tell me what the problem is
