NAME CGI::Session - persistent session data in CGI applications

SYNOPSIS

Object initialization:

    use CGI::Session;
    $session = CGI::Session->new();

    $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.
