CGI.pm has been a standard part of Perl for some years now (since 5.004_04 I think). If you have an earlier version than that then you'll need to get it installed (but if you have an earlier version than that on a web server then you have major security holes anyway).

I'm assuming that it's a typo, but you have mis-spelt 'standard' in your sample above. Is that the problem?

If you let me know what errors you're getting, then I'd be happy to help you track them down.
