    Perl CGI - Maintaining State

    Hi, a long while back I used to write Perl CGI scripts, but abandoned it when PHP came out.

    I'm re-examining it because I've noticed that it still remains popular after all this time.

    Question: what is the mechanism that you use to maintain state? ASP and JSP have their session and session variables. Do most people just use cookies or what?

    You can do the same thing they do: Write out your Session ID as an encrypted cookie and use a database or text file or something to write your persisted data in.
