Dear Colleagues:
We had this precise error at port 8080 and even tried a new install. No luck. We HAD installed CGI::Session 4.10, first thing when doing the original install...obviously, it had made no difference. However, I downloaded the file from CPAN and re-installed it the traditional way: #perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install - and, lo and behold many hours of misery vanished. Now, let me note that this was on Fedora 8, not Ubuntu but it might well work on Ubuntu as well as it is a PERL module thing. I also note, in passing that both with 2.2.9 and 3.00.00-beta that many CPAN packages never install correctly - or at all - with the standard installer. Where possible, we have found that either a 'yum' or a standard, download and install, as above, works best. In 3.00, we had 7 different CPAN packages that needed manual install and one, POE, that needed a reversion from 1.001 to 0.9999 to get it to work. In a number of cases, not only was the manual install the only way to get something to work but also, brought with it new modules that it needed, in turn...
I am having trouble installing POE. 0.9999 on Ubuntu Hardy. How do I try a manual install? or should I use apt-get and force the version?
