boy, would that be great or what!I really wish the developer(s) would not write in their READMEs in such a manner that it might be taken to mean that it requires mod_perl (darn, that was a labored sentence I just wrote).I recently chose to use CGI::Session over Apache::Session precisely because it said something early on in the README about Apache::Session wanting or needing mod_perl
Does anyone know of someplace where there is a side by side comparisons of these various modules and their relative advantages/disadvantages? - if not - I would be willing to accept contributed documents and set up a page with this info....
By my count now I have
CGI::FormMagick -- haven't tried yet
CGI::Persistence -- able to install but since it lacks decent docs, no examples, I wasn't able to do anything with
Apache::Session -- unable to install
now CGI::Session -- unable to install
I get the following in cpan
..
CGI-Session-3.9/README
CGI-Session-3.9/Makefile.PL
CGI-Session-3.9/Session.pm
CGI-Session-3.9/rfc2965.txt
CPAN.pm: Going to build S/SH/SHERZODR/CGI-Session-3.9.tar.gz
Bareword "Digest::MD5" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at Makefile.PL line 52.
Execution of Makefile.PL aborted due to compilation errors.
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
Checking CPAN I find that CGI::Session is now at 3.11, but I can't make my cpan to recognize 3.11. I did 'reload index' and I still get 3.9.
Seems like I am having a bad perl day. Any suggestions?
Jeff, CGI::Session docs make it seem like it will work, but can you tell me the magic to make it install.
Many thanks,
Puneet.
