I want to maintain a "session" (i.e. collection of server-side variables) for each open browser window (not browser "session" in the technical sense).
I implemented such a mechanism as a Dancer Plugin: Dancer::Plugin::WindowSession . See it in action here: http://winsid.cancan.cshl.edu/ The source code for the plugin (and the demo) are here: https://github.com/agordon/Dancer-Plugin-WindowSession (and soon in CPAN). On the Perl side, simply use "window_session" keyword instead of "session" keyword. On the template side, you'll need to pass along the "winsid" (=window session id) as a CGI parameter to every URL and POST request. See code example here (that's the method that generates the plot for the demo): https://github.com/agordon/Dancer-Plugin-WindowSession/blob/master/eg/exampl... It uses the same session mechanism defined in the config.yml, and only uses standard Dancer keywords (no ugly hacking), so I hope it will be stable and portable for Dancer2 .
