I'm trying to copy a WEB application from a Sun Spark environment to a Linux environment. I ~believe~ I have Perl, Apache2, mod_perl and Mason installed correctly but when I try some simple code using "autohandler", I get errors.

What I get is:

error:     Can't locate object method "session" via package "HTML::Mas
+on::Request::ApacheHandler" at /var/www/html/autohandler line 13, <DA
+TA> line 225.
context:     
...     
9:      $m->clear_buffer();
10:     
11:      use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday tv_interval);
12:      my $starttime=[gettimeofday];
13:      $m->session->{title}="Web";
14:     my $url="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
15:     $m->session->{url}=$url;
16:     
17:     if(!defined $m->session->{debug})

the trace for this is:

Can't locate object method "session" via package "HTML::Mason::Request
+::ApacheHandler" at /var/www/html/autohandler line 13, <DATA> line 22
+5.

If I change the name of the autohandler file, the test html code I have works.

I'm new to Mason and this was a new Mason/mod_perl install so I ~think~ it might be a configuration parameter someplace, but I have no idea where to look. If someone can just "point" me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
