What is the difference (as far as security goes) between using a cookie and a hidden field? Are hidden fields cached if we are using SSL? I think not. If I use a GUID as a session ID in my database and store the GUID in a hidden field and the user sees the GUID in some GET parameters, is this

The benefit of DBD::ODBC is that you do not have to do "database specific" querying so to speak. You would setup an ODBC connection (Control Panel->ODBC Administrator) to your Access database, then use the DSN name you created to access the access database. Do a `perldoc DBD::ODBC` to get any doc
