in thread CGI::Session - Installation Problem

I wouldn't reccomend CGI::kSession to anybody. It has no tests, and based on that fact alone is not worth much attention (but I looked anyway).

Another big problem is it uses no locking mechanism whatsoever.

And lastly, it's no replacement for CGI::Session (which is very actively maintained). CGI::Session can use various database backends, whereas CGI::kSession is limited to files.

Like I said in the beginning, I wouldn't reccomend CGI::kSession to anybody.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

    Fair 'nuff - thank-you. I was only playing anyway - I use CGI::Session on the *nix webservers, and was surprised that ActiveState had no 'easy-peasy-ppm' install of it, so took the best they offered...I'll try Somebody Else's Repository next time :)

      Better not. CGI::Session has never required a compiler, and as such will never show up on my repository. Just learn to install modules (tutorials), and then visit search.cpan.org, it's that easy.

        Next time I'm playing with a Windows box, I'll be sure to do that...that must be why my CPAN stuff doesn't show up either :) Thanks for the link to the tutorial - there was me, installing from ppm, disassembling the libraries, ftp'ing the source to my Unix servers, re-compiling...that's gonna save me *days* :)

        Ben.
