I don't have a cgi-lib.pl on my system either but lots of
stuff these days uses CGI.pm which is a Perl module for
doing CGI stuff. Looking inside CGI.pm I found this:
<quote>
To make it easier to port existing programs that use
cgi-lib.pl
the compatibility routine "ReadParse" is provided. Porting
is
simple:
OLD VERSION
require "cgi-lib.pl";
&ReadParse;
print "The value of the antique is $in{antique}.\n";
NEW VERSION
use CGI;
CGI::ReadParse
print "The value of the antique is $in{antique}.\n";
</quote>
This makes me think that the perl script you are using may
be a bit old. You will be able to find both CGI.pm and prob
cgi-lib.pl on the CPAN site:
