Hello!

I'm trying to migrate a site over to an Apache2 server from an Apache1 server. The perl cookie handling pieces of code are not quite working. Here's the error I get:

Can't locate object method "fetch" via package "Apache2::Cookie" (perhaps you forgot to load "Apache2::Cookie"?) at /usr/local/apache/htdocs/autohandler line 6.

Our site uses Mason. The block of code causing trouble is below. Per the documentation on CPAN, I added the $r object and changed the name of the packages referenced in the code. When I received the can't locate "fetch" error, I had the server admin check the installation and update the packages again. He insists that Apache2::Cookie is available. Assuming it is, is there anything is this code that would cause the error?

<%init>
local *session;

if ($r->uri =~ m/product|faq|finder|broadmarket|msp/gi) {
   my %c = Apache2::Cookie->fetch($r);
   my $session_id =
       exists $c{session_} ? $c{session_}->value : undef;
   
   eval {
       tie %session, 'Apache2::Session::File', $session_id, {
           Directory => '/var/sessions/data',
           LockDirectory => '/var/sessions/lock',
       };
   };
   
   if ($@) {
       die $@ unless $@ =~ /Object does not exist/;  # Re-throw
       $m->redirect('/index.html');
   }

   #expires => '+20m',   
   Apache2::Cookie->new( $r,
                        name => 'session_',
                        value => $session{_session_id},
                        path => '/',
                      )->bake;
}
    #$m->out($r->as_string);
    $m->call_next;
</%init>
