Hello all. Well, I'm working on login/session tracking and decided to use CGI::Session. I'm working in a windows enviroment and seem to be generating some problems getting the initial session started (hence I'm very inexperienced). Anyways, here is my code along with the errors that are generated when I try to run it.

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Session;

my $cgi = new CGI();      
my $session = new CGI::Session(undef, undef, {Directory=>'\tmp'});
[download]

I get this error:

Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/si
+te/lib .)
at C:/Perl/site/lib/CGI/Session/DB_File.pm line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/CGI/Session/DB_F
+ile.pm lin
e 12.
[download]

I've also trying running it as

my $session = new CGI::Session("driver:FILE", undef, Directory=>File::
+Spec->tmpdir);
[download]

and had the same errors. I have File::Spec installed and I have created the directory /tmp. What am I missing here or not understanding? Thanks.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
