Hi my name is Jenny.
I'm a very very big beginner with UNIX.
I've made Forms on my website, but need to add CGI to compliment them.
Presently, I don't have a host that supports UNIX.
Is there anywhere I can connect to a UNIX session for free?
If so, will they most likely have the latest version of Perl?
Let me know if I'm not making sense.
I have no idea at all as to where I can start learning about all this CGI/UNIX/Perl stuff.
Does anyone know of any really really basic tutorials? I mean, I'm so "left-in-the-dark" that I don't even know how to log-on or how I'm gonna be able to test my scripts.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
Jenny

cgi::session::driver::sqlite
CGI::Session::Driver::sqlite(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation CGI::Session::Driver::sqlite(3)
NAME
CGI::Session::Driver::sqlite - CGI::Session driver for SQLite
SYNOPSIS
$s = new CGI::Session("driver:sqlite", $sid, {DataSource=>'/my/folder/sessions.sqlt'});
$s = new CGI::Session("driver:sqlite", $sid, {Handle=>$dbh});
or
$s = new CGI::Session('driver:sqlite', undef,
{
TableName=>'session',
IdColName=>'my_id',
DataColName=>'my_data',
Handle=>$dbh,
});
DESCRIPTION
sqlite driver stores session data in SQLite files using DBD::SQLite DBI driver. More details see CGI::Session::Driver::DBI, its parent
class.
DRIVER ARGUMENTS
Supported driver arguments are DataSource and Handle. At most only one of these arguments can be set while creating session object.
DataSource should be in the form of "dbi:SQLite:dbname=/path/to/db.sqlt". If "dbi:SQLite:" is missing it will be prepended for you. If
Handle is present it should be database handle ($dbh) returned by DBI::connect().
As of version 1.7 of this driver, the third argument is NOT optional. Using a default database in the temporary directory is a security
risk since anyone on the machine can create and/or read your session data. If you understand these risks and still want the old behavior,
you can set the "DataSource" option to '/tmp/sessions.sqlt'.
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
None known.
LICENSING
For support and licensing see CGI::Session
