Hi,

I am facing issue in installing CGI:Session Perl module. I used following for installation:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install CGI::Session'

in configuration screen I am getting following warning:

Warning: The CGI::Session Perl module is required for session support, but is not available.

can you point me to any link which explains the steps to install and configure CGI:Session

Please help

Thanks Manoj

Hi Peter,

I followed the link and installed CPAN successfully. After installation I am not able to see configuration scree. it gives following error:

Failed to load the perl module TWiki::Configure::Checker. The module could not be found.

Please ensure that:

1. TWiki::Configure::Checker is installed,
2. that the module is available on the @INC path,
3. that the webserver user (SYSTEM) has permission to read the TWiki/Configure/Checker.pm file.

The detailed error seen was: Can't locate TWiki/Configure/Checker.pm in @INC (you may need to install the TWiki::Configure::Checker module) (@INC contains: C:\www\twiki\bin\C:\www\twiki\lib . C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib) at (eval 22) line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 22) line 2.

NOTE that I was unable to load LocalLib.cfg because of the following error:

defined(@array) is deprecated at setlib.cfg line 53. Compilation failed in require at (eval 10) line 1.

Thanks Manoj

The @INC array seems to have two path collated, so it won't find C:\www\twiki\bin and C:\www\twiki\lib.

On "Warning: defined(@array) is deprecated" see KnownIssuesOfTWiki06x00, specifically TWikibug:Item7487.
