Question

Referring to the content at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/InstallingSessionPlugin , CGI::Session is already installed:

cpan[1]> install CGI::Session CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Tue, 20 Feb 2007 14:09:29 GMT CGI::Session is up to date (4.20).

However, on the configure page for Twiki, I see this error message:

You can use persistent CGI session tracking even if you are not using login. This allows you to have persistent session variables - for example, skins. Client sessions are not required for logins to work, but TWiki will not be able to remember users unless there is some other mechanism - such as browser cacheing of authentication - available. # See TWikiUserAuthentication for a full discussion of the pros and cons of using persistent sessions. Error: The CGI::Session Perl module is required for session support, but is not available.

I have restarted Apache multiple times but to no avail.

Please do not install this plugin, TWiki 4.x has built-in session tracking.
