For what it's worth, you don't say what perl you're using, but if it's ActiveState, suggest you use ppm when feasible, as modules at AS are compiled for 'doze, which can, sometimes, save you agita.

For example,

C:\>ppm s CGI::Session
produces 
1. CGI-Session           [3.95] Persistent session in CGI applications
2. CGI-Session-Auth          [0.23] Authenticated sessions for CGI scr
+ipts
3. CGI-Session-BitBucket     [1.0] a module that loses your session da
+ta
4. CGI-Session-ExpireSessions [1.04] Delete expired CGI::Session db-ba
+sed
