SID-01009: Getting TWIKISID

Hi,

i am trying to write a perl plugin to update a topic from the unix command line. It works fine and changes the topic like it should but always as TwikiGuest user. So got to set the user while my script is running. A call of $session->{loginManager}->login() dont change the user even the login works. So i am trying to call the login plugin and storde a session cookie. With curl it works fine cause curl stores a cookie which i can use running my script. But i cant use curl on the unix machine so i try to store my own cookie.

Now the problem, to store my own cookie i got to store the sessionId from the login script and write it to the cookie file. But i dont fine a way to get the sessionId.

%SESSION_VARIABLE{"SESSIONID"}% or something like $session->getValues(); dont work. I need the command to get the SessionId from a perl script.

Thanks
