So all you really need is for a way for Perl to read PHP session files? Or
are you using a database for sessions? I'm sure this has already been
written. The session ID is available in a cookie or from the URL. You just
need to find the right file, open it, unserialize it and create your
variables to see if the person is actually logged in or not. No cookie or
session id in the URL means they haven't logged in.
