Hey

I am looking at the auth objects now.  I like the idea, but it uses 
"views" ~ which is thier version of templating.  I really would hate to 
get away from the HTML::Template, but I am not sure I can do it without 
it.  We will see.

Here is a code fragment of how the session is created or found.  The 
first block sets up the session object, and the second one creates the 
session manager object.  The last part checks to see if it is a new 
session and if so, makes sure they are forwarded to a login screen.

my @session_params = (
	-TYPE => 'File',
	-MAX_ACCESS_TIME => 60 * 5,
	-SESSION_DIR => '/home/apache/cgi-bin/cgia/sessions',
	-DATA_POLICY => 'CACHE_READS_AND_WRITES'
	);

$sm = Extropia::SessionManager->create(
   	   -TYPE => 'FormVar',
	   -CGI_OBJECT => $web_obj,
	   -FORM_VAR_NAME => 'session',
	   -SESSION_PARAMS => \@session_params
	   );

$session = $sm->createSession();
			
if ($session->isNew())
{
     $web_obj->param ( -name => 'rm' , -value => 'mode2');
}

Bill,

Could you tell me how you use the Extropia objects in your
cgi::application?
Do you also use the auth and authmanager objects?
