Re: [Cgi-session-user] session files don't get deleted after they expired, workaround?

[<ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

you could use the (experimental) method find(), which will try to load all
session objects stored on disk and which removes all expired ones (it won't
do anything to the other, valid ones when using empty sub)

> CGI::Session->find( sub {} );

You may put it either in a cronjob or start a small script with it manually
(e. g. on a regular base). I wouldn't include this line into your normal
script because it may need a few seconds if many sessions are active in
parallel...

If anybody out there knows a better way for this, I'd be glad to hear as
well!

Best regards

Stefan.
