What does that even mean?

Please quote an appropriate amount of context.

* Cookies and session management go hand in hand in most cases.

* CGI questions are off-topic in this newsgroup. Methods for managing CGI
sessions are independent of the particular language used to implement them,
and should be discussed in a CGI group.

* On the other hand, if you have some Perl code that is, say, using
CGI::Session, and is not behaving as you expect, then by all means, ask a
specific question, *AFTER* reading the posting guidelines for this group.

Only if they have no Perl content.

How to do it in Perl is well as on-topic here as are e.g.
- how to send emails using Perl,
- how to access a database using Perl, or
- how to parse a text file using Perl.

Precisely.

There was no Perl content in the OP:

True, but that does not make the above unqualified statement correct.

No, but the rest of the message explained what to do to make the post
topical. I did not see the point of your correction, especially given that
I stated, in the same post:

CGI::Session, and is not behaving as you expect, then by all means,

I still do not see the point of your correction. Not every fact needs to be
mentioned in the same sentence, and, overall, my response did convey the
fact that Perl questions might have something to do with CGI are not ruled
out, just CGI questions that have no Perl content.

I am going to stop now.

Maybe I'm oversensitive...

Unfortunately, that's not an undisputed fact. I often see remarks here,
apparently with the aim to discourage people from posting anything CGI
related. That's the reason for my oversensitiveness.

OTOH, you often post helpful replies to CGI related Perl questions, so
it was kind of unfair to 'pick' on you. Sorry about that. ;-)

Understood. I think we both agree that it is unfortunate when legitimate
Perl questions that are related to CGI are considered off-topic.

No need to apologize. We both stated our positions, and re-reading my
posts, I think I might be the oversensitive one ;-)
