Hi Guys, my boss don't want me to update CPAN out of fear of regression testing other applications using current cpan version 3.00. Any other ideas on how to use current CPAN version to get my code to work. So far I haven't seen any other solution yet.

Try the example script from the docs ;

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print 
  header,
  start_html('Simple Script'),
  h1('Simple Script'),
  start_form,
  "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p,
  "What's the combination?",
   checkbox_group(-name=>'words',
    -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
    -defaults=>['eenie','moe']),p,
  "What's your favorite color?",
   popup_menu(-name=>'color',
    -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),p,
   submit,
   end_form,
   hr,"\n";

if (param) {
  print 
  "Your name is ",em(param('name')),p,
  "The keywords are: ",em(join(", ",param('words'))),p,
  "Your favorite color is ",em(param('color')),".\n";
}
print end_html;

And you likely won't, sorry
