I am using Mac OS X with the built in configuration of Apache. I am taking a web dev class where we're writing perl scripts ... so far I've been able to get my CGI scripts to run via mod_perl. Now, I'm trying to install CGI::Session via CPAN and it's not working and getting me very frustrated.
I don't have much experience at all with the mac terminal.
The following is what I did: First I typed perl -MCPAN -e shell
and then I typed install CGI::Session
I can't even manage to show you all of the messages that appeared on my screen as a result of typing that because xterm won't let me page up far enough back. However, below is the second half of it all:

(F) You used the syntax of a method call, but the slot filled by the
object reference or package name contains an undefined value. Something
like this will reproduce the error:
$BADREF = undef;
process $BADREF 1,2,3;
$BADREF->process(1,2,3);
Uncaught exception from user code:
