Re: get CGI::Session working

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.
[download]

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

When you 'use lib', it is just appending that directory to the path where it will look for Perl modules. I don't know if this makes a difference but can you remove that trailing / from the directory path? Also, I wonder if the script is having a problem trying to create the file and is giving you an error. CGI::Session is a great tool but it can be a pain to get working sometimes.	[reply]
