I need to get MCookie, but I don't know which one

[Nutthick]

I'm trying to get Mega Uploader to work, but I need MCookie installed. I've had a look on CPAN for modules called cookie, but there are loads of them. Does anyone know which one I should be using?

A link to the Mega Uploader site is below

http://www.raditha.com/megaupload/faq.php

with the list of modules here

Thanks for any help

Likely you need CGI::Cookie

If you want to see if you have a module installed and you cannt remember then you run
[red]perl -MModule_name[/red]
and if you dont get an error message then you do have the module. So the "M" before each module, means something like "use"
so the module you are after is not MCookie, but just Cookie.
Of course there is no Cookie module, But there is a CGI::Cookie which is what the page is asking you for.
so if you have the CGI installed then this
[red]perl -MCGI::Cookie -e 1[/red]
should give you no output and it would mean that you have the module installed.

Thanks for the replies. I can now add modules to perl alot easier than I could yesterday.

I'm still having problems though. I installed CGI::Cookies using the following command

perl -MCPAN -e 'install CGI::Cookie'

and everything installs OK. if I do

perl -MCGI::Cookie -e 1

then perl returns nothing, so installed perfectly. However, if I do

perl -MCookie -e 1

I get an error. Is MCookie just a typo on the MegaUploader website? I'm still getting errors when I try to run the scripts, with it giving the Internal Server Error as follows

Use of uninitialized value in -s at /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/cgi-bin/upload.cgi[/URL] line 179, <fh00001Test.wav> line 184.

readline() on unopened filehandle at /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/cgi-bin/upload.cgi[/URL] line 196.

but I don't know if this is to do with missing modules or something else. The file is uploading, I just don't get the progressbar. Does this look like a module problem, or something in the code?

Thanks again

@mbrooks, Just checking out the progress bar for uploading

Got it sorted. My modules were fine, a couple of the scripts were missing -w from the perl location and that was throwing the server.

Thanks for all the help

perl -MCookie -e 1" yes it is wrong. There is no such module.

The errors you are getting are not because of the -w switch, they are because in your script, there is a check on a variable that does not have a value.

So you can either initialize the value for that variable or check first if the variable is defined and then do whatever check you are doing.
