Hi, I recently installed SuSE8.1, with the apache version 1.3.26. It's perl 5.8 comes with CGI.pm v2.81. With the standard install, the httpd starts properly loading the mod_perl, php, and ssl modules. No problem, all is well.

I went to upgrade to the latest version of CGI.pm v2.87. Now when I start apache, I get a warning: "unitialized value in concantation in CGI.pm line 35".

The line 35 is this:

$TAINTED = substr($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD}.'',0,0);

So, does anyone know why I'm getting this message.

The v2.81 CGI.pm dosn't even have a $TAINTED variable.
