System: FreeBSD des.thinksec.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #121: Wed Dec 5 11:40:09 CET 2001 des@des.thinksec.com:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/DES i386

>Description:

The base system Perl includes an outdated version of the CGI module which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.

>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';

>Fix:

Do not install the CGI module with the base system.
