Hi, I wanted to know how to use PHP sessioning with Perl.

In short, I am using sessioning to keep track of particular variables
between SOAP calls. The SOAP server is being run with PHP and cannot
be changed to another language because of the PHP infrastructure that
has already been built. When I use a PHP client, it remembers the
variables. When I use SOAP::Lite, it does not remember the session
variables. How can I make Perl interface with PHP's sessioning?
Thank you for any help.

My problem is detailed very well on the PHP forum at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.php/browse_thread/thread/7657d5bf882f287b

My guess is that you need your Perl client to preserve and regurgitate
cookies

http://cookbook.soaplite.com/#using%20cookies

I don't plan on joining a PHP newsgroup - sorry.

Do PHP's sessions use cookies? If so, you might try adding a cookie jar
to track them:

Cookies was exactly right, thank you. Here is the solution that
worked.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use SOAP::Lite;# on_debug => sub{print@_};

my($response,$value);

my $cookieFile="./cookie.txt";
my $cookie=HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard=>1,file=>
$cookieFile,autosave=>1);

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('http://mgip2.biology.gatech.edu')
-> proxy('http://mgip2.biology.gatech.edu/api/apiServer4.php')
;
$soap->transport->cookie_jar($cookie);
