What webserver do you use?
Where does your Perl look for modules? Is CGI installed there? It's not a core module any longer.
What bug in 5.26.3 are you talking about?
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

A missing CGI.pm could indeed be a pitfall when upgrading from Perl 5.10 to Perl 5.26 - but the code snippet doesn't even use it... So I rather guess it's something more fundamental: a bad web server configuration, or Perl installed in a non-standard location, or file permissions - hard to guess without seeing the config.

The error message indicates that your Perl program hasn't even started.
The code snippet doesn't behave any different between Perl versions 5.10 and 5.34. The problem is in the server configuration, not in Perl - so that's to debug between your virtual server configuration and your provider. Sorry. | [reply] |
On a shared host where you have a cgi-bin directory, start off with a simple script. It doesn't even need to be Perl - it could be anything that prints to STDOUT and is executable.
The minimal response from any of these programs is this,
Status: 200
Content-type: text/html
<!doctype html>
<html> HTML Goes Here </html>
See https://www.perl.com/article/perl-and-cgi/. I also recommend checking out CGI::Tiny. If you're on a shared host that's "powered" by cPanel/WHM, then you can likely install Perl modules locally via the cPanel interface (ask your host if you don't know). There's also cpanm coupled with local::lib. | [reply]
