in reply to seeking web host that has a current version of CGI.pm

Do you know of any web hosts that try to keep up to date with CGI.pm and perl?

Do it yourself (at least with CGI.pm). Install CGI.pm locally in mylib (and mylib/CGI), then   use lib qw(mylib); in your scripts.

    dws, Thanks for reply. Have downloaded a folder CGI.pm-3.01 to my mac. Folder contains, among other things, a file CGI.pm as well as two more folders t & CGI. Do I create the mylib (and mylib/CGI) directories in my cgi-bin directory...or at "main level". And then do I just upload (say, via fetch) the file CGI.pm and the two folders? Thanks.

      Create mylib in cgi-bin and put CGI.pm there.
      Create mylib/CGI and drop in the contents of the CGI folder.
      Ignore t.

      That should get you going.

        I think all files & directories are now in place with the correct permissions. In Perl script, I am putting the two lines use lib qw(mylib); use CGI ':standard',':html3',':netscape'; in place of former single line use CGI ':standard',':html3',':netscape'; Is that correct? Thanks again if you are still there. Tom
