it is always good to have another way to install them.

More than being "another way", it is always good to install packages in a OS compliant way. And that's RPM and yum on Fedora.

Unfortunately, the module "CGI" is not part of the RPM's.

It isn't, because it's in perl core: 

qwurx [shmem] ~ > cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 7 (Moonshine)
qwurx [shmem] ~ > perl -MCGI -le 'print $INC{"CGI.pm"}'
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm
qwurx [shmem] ~ >  rpm -qf /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm 
perl-5.8.8-23.fc7

[download]

No need to install CGI.

update: while you're at it, do a 

rpm -q perl-Compress-Zlib

[download]

If it isn't there, do a yum install perl-Compress-Zlib :-)

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
