interestingly enough, whenever i try creating a virtual directory with IIS (5.1) - (WinXP), my session objects somehow gets lost somewhere in between pages.<br><br>
to do this :
1.) create a folder "test" let's say on C:\ and put all teh files inside.
2.) right click on the folder, properties->websharing->share the folder and check everything in checkboxes.
3.) now access testsession.pl with a web browser.
4.) the page will show, with session id, and also it'll show on the next page with its found session object.
5.) now..
6.) go to IIS, under default web site, find "test" virtual directory and set its properties->directory security->anonymous access checked.
7.) apply and restart IIS.
8.) now, try running testsession.pl again...and when you move to the next page, your session is gone!
why is this happening??? (happening to me).
the reason why i wanted to set anonymous access on lower level folder "test" is because it'll prompt me a authentication screen if i use ie6 or firefox when viewing the first page.
file 1 : testsession.pl
