    Shouldn't be a problem. Apache runs just fine on NT4.

    Hmmm.. are you saying then that you are using IIS? Some folks still choose to use Apache on Windows NT.

    If you are using IIS, I know if provides unique ID's to all ASP scripts -- it's possible it does the same thing for Perl.. although I couldn't tell you how to determine that info. But perhaps that'll give you a start. It may even be provided to you in an environment variable or with the request string.

    NP: Apache::Session, much like 'Monster Island', is just a name, and can probably be used on whatever webserver you have at hand.
