Re^2: CGI::Session Installation

That is kind of old, ouch :)

You need to escape out of cpan and try to install manually

cpan>look CGI::Session
[download]

That will download and extract CGI::Session to a temporary directory, and open a shell (cmd) in that directory. From there you can then run perl Makefile.PL && nmake test. If you get any errors, copy/paste them into <code></code> tags.

What's the easiest way to update the version I have of Perl running on the server? There is a directory on the server that is 5.8 but putting a print of the version number in one of my scripts I get 5.0. Is there a good (step by step) webpage that describes installing a new version of Perl on a windows machine? Thanks in advance.	[reply]

Re^4: CGI::Session Installation by Anonymous Monk on Jul 08, 2009 at 13:52 UTC
So why don't you define a value for subshells? Or simply download http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MA/MARKSTOS/CGI-Session-4.41.tar.gz and `tar -zxvf CGI-Session-4.41.tar.gz` then `cd CGI-Session-4.41`....	[reply] [d/l] [select]
