Hey,
I’m suffering from the “Undefined subroutine CGI::upload” issue.
I found http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2001-November/005314.html, which
indicates CGI.pm is too old. Whats “Too old” ? Nothing complained when
doing a make testdeps…

Um, whatever it is that you’re running.

I run 2.77 at work and 2.81 at home, and they both work fine.
grepping CPAN suggests it was introduced in 2.45

Yeah, ask me about it privately.

$CGI::VERSION=‘2.46’;

Hm. Well, FreeBSD-4.6.1 is running 5.00503. I’m dead sure I’ve updated the
CGI via CPAN… oh …
Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/CGI.pm-2.81

Hmm. Any suggestions?

Yes.
CGI is one of the few I had to upgrade manually on my FreeBSD
system. When I say manually, I mean copying the CGI.pm from the latest
distribution over the top of the system one.
For reasons that I do not recall, doing a proper ‘perl Makefile.PL &&
make && make install’ did not work. Probably something very similar to
what happened to you up there
The other option is to upgrade your system perl via the ports.
See http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=192255 for a mass of
useful information on that path. It is however a large step to do on a
production machine.
