Try the following short script to test. If everything goes well, you should
see a persistent session id, and a counter which should increment each time
the page is revisited or refreshed (see
http://author.handalak.com/cgi-bin/session ). If it doesn't, there really is
a problem and we'll work on it.

P.S. You would discover this eventually, but you should look into
CGI::Application and HTML::Template (Or Template Toolkit). The way you're
doing things right now (with if/else, and embedded 'HTML'), you can only go
so far.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp ('fatalsToBrowser');
use CGI::Session;

my $query = CGI->new();
my $session = CGI::Session->new(undef, undef, {Directory=>'/tmp'});
my $counter = $session->param('counter') || 0;
$session->param('counter', ++$counter);

my $cookie = $query->cookie(-name=>$session->name, -value=>$session->id,
-expires=>"+1h");
print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie),
        $query->start_html("CGI::Session - " . $session->VERSION),
        $query->h1("Testing CGI::Session " . $session->VERSION),
        $query->h2($session->name . " : " . $session->id),
        $query->h3("Counter: $counter"),
        $query->end_html();

If it works, there's a problem with your code.
