Re: Modifying of Apache::Session File

["Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd." <di...@vsnl.com>]

Hi,

We've solved the problem. I don't know whether this is the way.
We untie every time before we tie again and then change the hash.
This seems to work. Is this the correct way of modifying the contents.

Our session hash is not global. (Hope session object and hash are the same).
Session hash is only local to the functions.

We are using a file to store the values.
