How to handle sessions

not installed CGI::Session or Apache::Sessions

[krefeld]

Hi.

Working with Apache and CGI/Perl, I want to handle and manage session variables. Is there any way different from using CGI::Session or Apache::Sessions, not installed on my server?

Thank you very much.

you could write your own session managment code. Search www.cpan.org for other session modules, but CGI::Session is pretty much the standard as far as I know.

I'm with Kevin... You could write your own session handling and cookie management, or just use CGI.pm and CGI::Session. The former would be interesting if you've never done it before, but would take a while. Getting sessions with the CGI modules only takes a bit to figure out.

If getting it installed on your web host is the problem, they can all run out of your homedir.
