G'day perldb2,

-- Downvoted! You asked about this topic, and got a solution, a few weeks ago in "OSX Server Perl install modules".

You did not get the output you claim from: 

perl -MCPAN -e 'CGI::Application'

[download]

Here's what I get (i.e. no output): 

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'CGI::Application'
$

[download]

Similar commands also producing no output: 

$ perl -MCPAN -e 1
$ 
$ perl -e 'CGI::Application'
$ 
$ perl -e 1
$

[download]

The remainder of my post is what I wasted my time on before realising you'd already been given this information.

I'll assume "MAC MINI" uses Mac OS X: please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't which version you have and this is important: please advise.

Apple has installed its own version of Perl for its own use. This is generally referred to as the "System Perl". Do not modify (add, change or delete) the System Perl: it can affect how the OS currently runs; your modifications will probably be overwritten by the next update. I'd recommend perlbrew: I've been using this for over five years on various Mac OS X versions.
