Posted by: kris_21 Dec 14 2010, 08:54 PM

Hi,

M a newcomer in CGI scripting. I need to design a website with a session timeout of 5mins. Will be designing the site with html & CGI on server side. My server supports only CGI. can anyone explain to me how i can achieve this session management using CGI. I believe there are some CGI:session environment variables but i am not sure. Please help.....!!

If you're using Perl, then the CGI::Session module can help manage sessions:
