Re: Re: CGI::Session and ActivePerl problem

Hi,

I tried installing CGI::Session::File using PPM, but it couldn't locate a PPD for it, so I just downloaded CGI::Session::File.pm from CPAN myself and saved it in a Perl\site\lib\cgi\session along with the other drivers - but as I mentioned, while this solved the original problem, it's now left me with the second error message above.

Any ideas?

Let's see.... Readme for CGI::Session says ID GENERATORS Following ID generators are available: * MD5 - generates 32 character long hexidecimal string. Requires Digest::MD5. Full name: CGI::Session::ID::MD5. Do you have Digest::MD5 installed? Using PPM I see PPM> search md5 Packages available from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMS erver: Digest-MD5 2.27 Perl interface to the MD5 Algorithm Packages available from http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer: Digest-Perl-MD5 1.5 Perl Implementation of Rivest's MD5 algorithm Note that Digest-MD5 is available from a different site than ActiveState. Depending on the ActivePerl version you have you would set PPM to use one of Randy Kobe's two PPM-package directories. I use the 6xx one, which you can add to PPM using: `set repository RK http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver +?urn:/PPMServer` [download] But I am very much worried that CGI::Session was not installed correctly to begin with. CGI:Session::File is _part_ of that package. If parts of the package were not installed in the right places who knows what else might be wrong. I think you should go back and figure out what the _first_ problem was...	[reply] [d/l]
