NAME
CGI::Session - persistent session data in CGI applications
SYNOPSIS
# Object initialization:
use CGI::Session;
$session = new CGI::Session();
$CGISESSID = $session->id();
# send proper HTTP header with cookies:
print $session->header();
# storing data in the session
$session->param('f_name', 'Sherzod');
# or
$session->param(-name=>'l_name', -value=>'Ruzmetov');
# retrieving data
my $f_name = $session->param('f_name');
# or
my $l_name = $session->param(-name=>'l_name');
# clearing a certain session parameter
$session->clear(["l_name", "f_name"]);
# expire '_is_logged_in' flag after 10 idle minutes:
$session->expire('is_logged_in', '+10m')
# expire the session itself after 1 idle hour
$session->expire('+1h');
# delete the session for good
$session->delete();
DESCRIPTION
CGI-Session is a Perl5 library that provides an easy, reliable and modular
session management system across HTTP requests. Persistency is a key feature
for such applications as shopping carts, login/authentication routines, and
application that need to carry data across HTTP requests. CGI::Session does
that and many more.
