PREREQUISITES

Apache2::WebApp
Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Cookie
Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Session

Apache::Session::Lock::File
Params::Validate

INSTALLATION

From source:

$ perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=~/path/to/custom/dir LIB=~/path/to/custom/lib
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

Perl one liner using CPAN.pm:

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Session::File'

Use of CPAN.pm in interactive mode:

Just like the manual installation of Perl modules, the user may need root access during this process to insure write permission is allowed within the installation directory.
