Description Dag-Erling Smorgrav 2001-12-14 00:10:01 UTC

The base system Perl includes an outdated version of the CGI module which
overrides the one installed from ports, so applications which require
newer versions of the CGI module cannot run on -CURRENT.

Fix: 

Do not install the CGI module with the base system.
How-To-Repeat: 
# porteasy -ku www/p5-CGI.pm
# pkg_info -L p5-CGI.pm-2.753  | grep Cookie
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/man/man3/CGI::Cookie.3.gz
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/CGI/Cookie.pm
# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/CGI/Cookie.pm
$CGI::Cookie::VERSION='1.20';
# perl -e 'use CGI::Cookie 1.20'
CGI::Cookie version 1.2 required--this is only version 1.12 at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
# perl -e 'use CGI::Cookie; print "$CGI::Cookie::VERSION\n"'
1.12
# find /usr/src/contrib/perl5 -name Cookie.pm
/usr/src/contrib/perl5/lib/CGI/Cookie.pm
# grep VERSION /usr/src/contrib/perl5/lib/CGI/Cookie.pm
$CGI::Cookie::VERSION='1.12';

Responsible Changed
From-To: freebsd-bugs->tobez

Anton has a plan for handling base system modules and ports modules 
sanely, but the rest of us don't really know about it. :-)

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

The @INC order was changed both in lang/perl5 port and in the -stable 
base system perl.  www/p5-CGI.pm should do the trick now.
