Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated perl-CGI-Session package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

CGI-Session is a Perl5 library that provides an easy, reliable and modular session management system across HTTP requests. Persistency is a key feature for such applications as shopping carts, login/authentication routines, and application that need to carry data across HTTP requests.
