How to install CGI.pm

You are right; I saw that piece of code in one of Matt's scripts.

You don't need to apologise; I am glad that you warned me. At some point, I would need to handle multiple selection boxes...

In fact, I decided to use CGI.pm some time earlier, and I began with a code I saw at http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/ . But I got some error messages and I inferred that the CGI.pm library was not installed on my server. (I don't have root access.)
I used

use CGI qw(:standart)

.
May be you can help me out? Did I make a mistake? Thanks for your help!

CGI.pm has been a standard part of Perl for some years now (since 5.004_04 I think). If you have an earlier version than that then you'll need to get it installed (but if you have an earlier version than that on a web server then you have major security holes anyway). I'm assuming that it's a typo, but you have mis-spelt 'standard' in your sample above. Is that the problem? If you let me know what errors you're getting, then I'd be happy to help you track them down. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000, ICA, London <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]

No, that's just a typo... I looked at my previous files, I think I deleted the code when I failed to get it working. But when I try it a second time, I certainly will ask you if I get any problem like that. I don't know the Perl version, but I do not think it is and early version... Thank you very much.:-)	[reply]

If you want to figure out which version of perl you have type "perl -v" in the terminal. - p u n k k i d "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -Albert Einstein	[reply]
