Re: [cobalt-developers] Undefined subroutine using a CGI Script on a Raq3

["Michael" <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Balazs,

Thanks for the comments.  Considering that the code worked on my old server,
I believe the problem is with the older version of Perl on the cobalt
server.

But I am very new to working with my own server and I have no idea where to
get started on updating Perl.  The only thing I've done with the Cobalt
server is to install a .pkg file.

Could you help me out a little or at least get me started in the right
direction?

Thanks,
Michael

If you
