I am using the session_id to brand the browser, with the session_secret to prevent attackers from guessing a valid session_id. The reason behind all the anti-spoof stuff is to allow the initial checks on the cookie to be confident that the client database_id is actually correct. This allows the script to try to connect to the client's database directly instead of having to have to refer to a lookup database on each request.
Once the client database has been connected to the session details are validated as well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
