This is the code that I usually run whenever I install perl on a new machine or update CGI.pm (I like to have my cake and eat it.) 
use CGI;
use strict;

{
    my %CGI_Patch;
    local ($^I, @ARGV) = ('.bak', $INC{'CGI.pm'});
    while (<>) 
        {
            s/^(\s*\$POST_MAX\s*=\s*)([^;]*);/${1}1024 * 100;/
                && $CGI_Patch{POSTMAX}++;
        
            s/^(\s*\$DISABLE_UPLOADS\s*=\s*)([^;]*);/${1}1;/
                && $CGI_Patch{NOUPLOADS}++;
        
            # I'll have my cake and eat it too!...
            my $cake =  '\$query_string .= \(length\(\$query_string\) 
+'.
                        '\? \'&\' : \'\'\) . \$ENV{\'QUERY_STRING\'}'.
                        ' if defined \$ENV{\'QUERY_STRING\'};';
            s/(\s*)#(\s*)($cake)/$1$2$3/ && $CGI_Patch{CAKE}++;
        
            print;
        
            close ARGV if eof;
    }
    
    print "CGI.pm ($INC{'CGI.pm'}) patch results...\n";
    print '$POSTMAX updated...........' , $CGI_Patch{POSTMAX} , "\n";
    print '$DISABLE_UPLOADS updated...' , $CGI_Patch{NOUPLOADS} , "\n"
+;
    print 'Have your cake and eat it..' , $CGI_Patch{CAKE} , "\n";
}

Admittedly, this code is likely to break when CGI changes dramatically, so it's not as robust as CGI::Safe. I like to edit the source, so I make sure that everyone else's code on the server is a bit more secure.
