>Mumia,
Thanks for the mod_perl tip. That seems to say that the code in the END
block will be executed when the server stops, not when the session comes to
an end.
My END blocks are executed well before the session comes to an end.
If I do something like this:
print header;
END {print "Ending Now", hr}
my $login = param('Login');
my $page_name = param('Go');
if ($page_name eq 'Logged In'){
print "a({-href=>"./fubar", "fubar"});
}
if (!$page_name){
print submit ({-name=>'Go', -Label = 'Logged In');
}
Then what happens when this (not real) code runs is that I type in login,
hit the Logged In button, fubar is printed and then I see "Ending Now".
My session is still running. I want code executed when the session closes.
Is it possible to do this in cgi? (I am beginning to think not.)
