hi, k i think i'm starting to see the point. :)
i think my question should have been, is there any difference in uploading a module straight to a path vs. installing a module via the makefile.
i also took a deeper look into the install file of cgi::session and it says the makefile process will do some permission changing...and from what i can tell it just chmod's the files to 755.
thanks every1. i think i'll be all set now.
