CGI:Session found but not

fitgeek has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I wrote a very simple redirect html cgi form and tested it to verify it worked, then I called the page from a browser. The error log says it could not find CGI::Session in the designated paths. and yet it is in the path. How can I fix this path issue? error message says it can't find it, but its in the path, tiny script works on the command line.

############Found MY Own Fix############ Oh buggy day one security issue, if I try to run perl as web user AND I need to access one of these libraries then I will get a premature end of file error. What I found was the perl5 library directories are created as drwxr-x--- This blocks the “other” user. A simple workaround is to change the directory permissions for the particular part of the library that needs to be used. OR, add the web user to the group root, (NOT!) Script to find the offending directories: find /usr/lib/perl5 -type d ! -perm /o=r -print

The message says `Can't locate CGI/Session/ErrorHandler.pm in @INC` CGI::Session is CGI/Session.pm but it isn't CGI::Session::ErrorHandler You need to reinstall CGI::Session so all the things that are part of it are installed	[reply]
