Re^2: CGI::Session isn't installed?

OK, so that does shed a little light. This is what I get back:

Software error:

Here's my general code. It's a short program containing basically nothing so I can get this working. When it does I can splice it into what I'm working on.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use Cwd;
use LWP::Simple;

use CGI;
use CGI::Session;

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $sid =  $cgi->param('CGISESSID') || undef;
my $session = new CGI::Session("driver:File", $cgi, {Directory=>'/tmp'
+});

It looks to me like the module is not there.

Thanks in advance.

Michael

That's correct, the module appears to not be installed. This leaves you with two courses of action: 1. Ask your ISP if they will install it for you. Many ISPs are willing to do this, but many more are not. So ask very nicely. 2. Since, AFAIK, this is a pure perl module, you could download it from CPAN, unzip it, and FTP the entire `lib` directory into the directory you're running your scripts from, most likely the `cgi-bin`. __________ Systems development is like banging your head against a wall... It's usually very painful, but if you're persistent, you'll get through it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
