Re^6: CGI::Session Compilation Issues

Not a permissions issue else the perl script would have failed.

use English;
use Cwd qw(getcwd);
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
#-- ppm install CGI::Session
use CGI::Session;

    our $session;
    our $query = new CGI();
    our $perl_sessions = "C:/webtmp";
    if (!(defined($query->cookie("wweb")))) {
        $session = new CGI::Session("driver:File", undef, {Directory=>
+$perl_sessions});
        $cookie = $query->cookie(-name   => "wweb",
                             -value  => $session->id);
    }
exit(0);

My bet still is on the permission issue. Reading the CGI::Session documentation for `->new`, it points to the `->errstr` class method as a way of finding why the constructor might fail. So, why aren't you checking errors? What does the following write to the error log and/or output? use strict; #use English; use Cwd qw(getcwd); use CGI qw/:standard/; use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser); #-- ppm install CGI::Session use CGI::Session; our $session; our $query = new CGI(); our $perl_sessions = "C:/webtmp"; if (!(defined($query->cookie("wweb")))) { $session = new CGI::Session("driver:File", undef, {Directory=> +$perl_sessions}) or die "Couldn't create CGI session: " . CGI::Session->err +str; $cookie = $q->cookie(-name => "wweb", -value => $session->id); } exit(0); [download] Update Also looking at the CGI::Session documentation again, there is no CGI::Session::Driver::File but only CGI::Session::Driver::file, so maybe your error is in specifying `"driver:File"` instead of `"driver:file"`.

You're supposed to use `CGI->... or CGI::Session->errstr()`	[reply] [d/l]
