You need to install the perl-CGI package. Redhat unwisely split some of the core modules into separate packages. These aren't installed by default so you can't locate it.
You may want to install the other core module packages: perl-DB_File, perl-CPAN, perl-libwww-perl, and perl-NDBM_File.

Dear Monks ,
I am back from vacations and I still need your wisdom !
I found a perl cgi package on the net and I installed it :
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra/updates/security/i386/perl-CGI-3.00-1.noarch.html
Sadly it did not change anything to my problem !
Anything else I may do ?
Thanks !
Vincent

Dear Monks, sorry for bothering you with such trivial question, but I am a total beginner in perl !
About my perl installation, I did not install it, I just installed linux redhat9.0 on the machine, and did not touch anything after that ...
What would you advised me to do ?
First off I for one am not bothered by your questions so
no need to apologize.
Something is inconsistant here however. If all you did
was install Linux from a disto and not touch the
Perl install then you should not be seeing the symptoms
you describe.
As far as installing Perl goes, download the source, cd
into the unpacked directory and then run ./Configure
and for the most part accept the defaults. I would
make it install in /usr/bin and friends and go from there.

About my linux installation, there is something else :
I needed to install it on a new DELL laptop. I am not specialist in such things (I am not only a beginner in PERL but altought in Linux) and it was quiet special, I had to download and to run some new kernel stuff (http://ltswww.epfl.ch/~dsanta/resources/dell-i8500-linux).
No idea if it might be linked to my problem or not...
Where can I find perl source ? Do I need to uninstall the already installed perl I have ?
