#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI::Session;

my $session = new CGI::Session ( "driver:File", undef, ( Directory => '/tmp' ));
==================
Resulting error?!?!?!
---------------------
CGI::Session doesn't seem to be a valid CGI::Session driver.
At least one method ('store') is missing at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/CGI/Session.pm line 150

Any ideas?

Hi jlr,

[code:1]my $session = new CGI::Session ( "driver:File", undef, ( Directory => '/tmp' ));[/code:1]

... should read ...

[code:1]my $session = new CGI::Session ( "driver:File", undef, {Directory => '/tmp' });[/code:1]

Hope that helps!
