####Script .cgi #####
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;
use lib qw(../cgi-lib);
use POSIX qw(strftime);

This looks like a broken, or at least inconsistent installation. Examine the file `/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.28.1/CGI.pm`: Your code seems to assume that this is the library CGI, but this library definitely does not call `CGI->new`. Perhaps you can track down where this `CGI.pm` comes from, and how `/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.28.1/` ended up in your `@INC` directory. Or you could try installing `CGI.pm` with the package manager of your distribution, or from CPAN, and make sure that this version is used instead of your weird one. Also, `cgi-lib` seems to be something from a very distant past.... where did that script come from? Perl 4?	[reply]

Something's really wrong with `/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.28.1/CGI.pm`.	[reply] [d/l]
