BTW, first off, let me thank Jeff for helping me with the redirect

Ended up needing to do meta refresh to forward to the next page.
Now, I'm having an issue with getting the information FROM the cookie.
After saving the login info in the script above using:
$session->param($key, $FORM{$key});
(I'm getting the login information via POST form).
Then I try to retry the information using the method shown at CPAN under
CGI::Session::Tutorial :
--- script redirected to after saving cookie info above ---
#!c:/Perl/bin/Perl.exe
use DBI;
use CGI;
use CGI::Session;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
# CHECK FOR COOKIE INFO--IF DOESN'T EXIST, SEND TO LOGIN
$cgi = new CGI;
$sid = $cgi->cookie('CGISESSID') || $cgi->param('CGISESSID') || undef;
$session = new CGI::Session(undef, $sid, {Directory=>'/windows/temp'});
my $login_name = $session->param(-name=>'login');
--- end ---
When this executes, I get the following:
Software error:
flock() unimplemented on this platform at
C:/Perl/lib/CGI/Session/File.pm line 54.
Should I be using a different version since I'm on win98 of either
CGI::Session or CGI::Session::File?
Thanks,
Glenn
