Hi,

I'm using a shared Freebsd server and it has an older version (3x) of CGI::Session installed. I'm using the newer 4.38 on my computer running XP and my scripts work. I needed to make quite a bit of changes to get them to work on the older CGI::Session version - in particular, this version doesn't support "load" and is quite a pain.

Can I simply copy the entire folder that contains CGI::Session (and its related files) from my computer to a folder on the shared server? Or must I install it from the server itself?

And after it's installed, how do I access the newer version? At this point, I know I've to add:

# Assumeing the folder containing CGI::Session is installed in '/usr/h
+ome/mysite/modules/site/CGI/'
use lib '/usr/home/mysite/modules';
use CGI::Session;

Does "use CGI::Session" call the older version installed by the hosting company or does it call the newer one I've installed?

Please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance :)
