Hi, thanks for your comments. In fact, the tmp file directory would have been a factor - I moved that to a directory where I know it works since I use it in connection with other (working) cgi scripts (where clients upload files). The permissions are fine, too.

Since I have no superuser privileges, I had to install CGI::Session locally. So it shouldn't matter where locally...

I did had a look at the server error log, and there it says: 

Premature end of script headers: test.cgi
Can't locate object method "generate_id" via package "CGI::Session::ID
+::" at /www/docs/homes/theissen/scr/perlmods/perllib//CGI/Session.pm 
+line 75.

So, it doesn't know of the definition of generate_id, which is in Session/ID/incr.pm and static.pm? How can that be? Any way to force Session.pm to look there? I tried 'use lib...' in every .pm file, but with no success.

Thanks for all the hints
