  • 1.  Missing CGI.pm file after installed perl 5.28.x

    Hello Everyone,

    One of our perl application is not stopped working from last week. Initially we thought the libraries may corrupted, we re-installed perl 5.28.x but throwing below exception.
    Can anyone please help me.

    Can't locate CGI.pm in @INC (you may need to install the CGI module) (@INC contains: /opt/freeware/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.1/ppc-aix-thread-multi /opt/freeware/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.1 /opt/freeware/lib/perl5/5.28.1/ppc-aix-thread-multi /opt/freeware/lib/perl5/5.28.1) at /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/cgi-bin/PasswordCreate.pl line 15.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/cgi-bin/PasswordCreate.pl line 15.
    [Tue Jun 30 18:17:42.790941 2020] [cgid:error] [pid 7995400:tid 2314] [client 9.211.156.98:47192] End of script output before headers: PasswordCreate.pl, referer

    We didn't find CGI.pm file any where in perl. I'm not sure this one is bundle with perl or I need to install separately.

    Thanks in advance for helping me to fix this issue.

    perl CGI module is not part of perl bundle. One has to install it separately.

    Thanks for your quick reply Ayappan. By chance do you know the resource to download the CGI module?

    Probably you need to use CPAN to install it.
