I came to a web application development(modperl) in a middle way.  The
existing session management is basically save pairs of info(user:xxx...)
into a /tmp file named clientip-random#-random#-timestamp, and use a 
similar format cookie to find corresponding session in /tmp to do
authentication.  meanwhile some new pair of info could be appended
to session file to speed up same request or record the last request.

I know this is *obviously* dumb and Apache::Session can handle all this.
But sometimes you know, things are obvious but you just can't convience
others easily...  the existing method works and how can I make a strong
argument that other ways are much better?


Thanks,

Jeff
