in reply to get CGI::Session working

What do you mean by "On installing cgi::session, I thought I better install it within the cgi enabled area, too."?

Modules should go where modules live, in site or site-lib or such, not in the cgi-bin of your webserver.

Remove it from there and re-install it in its normal place. That might cure the problem. If not check --as already said by others-- the permissions of your cgi-script and session-file/directory.

"A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
