In 5.8.0 it is a default module, but you should be able to issue a perl -MCPAN -e 'install CGI'; or invoke CPAN in a shell: perl -MCPAN -e shell and then issue install CGI > > Is it OK if I just copy CGI.pm from cpan? into > > /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm Don't think so as CGI may/probably relies on other modules.

My first approach would be to go through the RPM database of your install looking for perl and cgi related items, and then check the list of RPMs for the distro. If you can install from RPM on a RH box you will be better off in the long run. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
