jerrygarciuh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Honored monks
The following script quick and dirty though it may be was working for months until the CGI.pm module(s) got upgraded. It now throws this error

"ebcdic2ascii" is not exported by the CGI::Util module
"ascii2ebcdic" is not exported by the CGI::Util module
Can't continue after import errors at pressUpload.pl line 8
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at pressUpload.pl line 8.

I added an explicit import line in a blind attempt to get this back up and running (see use CGI::Util line in script below). but this did not change the error which is being thrown by the line use CGI; or use CGI qw/:all /;. Which one I use has made no difference. If, for fun, I comment out use CGI; then the same error is thrown by the use CGI::Util line. I have Googled the error and found this but haven't been able to figure out what is happening.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA
