Re: Upgrade to CGI.pm 3.01 results in problems with CGI::Util

Well, their are a few questions.

Why do you need to export those functions I don't see where you are using them in your code?
CGI.pm and this CGI::Util are now at v3.04 maybe you should upgrade again.
There is always a risk when trying to use private functions, but in this case I dont see anything drastic in store from a look at the source - and all the functions are listed in the EXPORT_OK list, so at least on 3.04 they should be exportable.
What version of CGI.pm were you using when this DID work okay?

UPDATE: Mystery solved, if you read the CGI.pm docs file there must have been a problem introduced in 3.01, because for 3.02 it says:

File upload on EBCDIC systems now works.

Sorry, but I gotta say it, RTFM.

As it turns out upgrading to 3.04 did not change the error. The problem lay in the fact that we had an older copy of CGI::Util in our lib so RTFM wouldn't have solved this.

But how did you upgrade to 3.04? I thought CGI.pm only came in a distro so you got all the componets updated?	[reply]

I don't have root on this box. I called the admin and he upgraded whatever he upgraded. All I can tell you is that the output of `perl -MCGI -e 'print $CGI::VERSION, $/';` is now 3.04 and was previosly 3.01. To answer your earlier query as to the version that had been running, I believe it was 2.79 but, of course, the real issue turns out to be the version of CGI::Util which was installed. jg > _____________________________________________________ "The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods.
