I am sorry for the 2nd post, but I think it worth an answer so I send it 
again...

Our CGI.pm module is older than 2 years ...

Some new perl softwares complain about this:
freebsd:/tmp/neomail-1.20# ./setup.pl
**********************************
****** COMPATIBILITY CHECKS ******
**********************************

IF ANY OF THESE CHECKS FAIL, INSTALLATION WILL NOT CONTINUE.
PLEASE INSTALL THE APPROPRIATE DBM LIBRARY OR MODULE AND TRY AGAIN.

Checking for installation of Berkely DB or GNU DB capability...
Looks OK.
Checking for up-to-date CGI.pm...
Your CGI.pm is outdated.  You have version 2.46, while NeoMail
requires at least 2.72.


Done on a 4.2-STABLE.... of yesterday ...
I know 5.0 has a newer version of perl, but I think also 4.x-STABLE has to 
be updated and can't continue to use a 2 years old component :-)

Thanks a lot for attention and sorry for the 2nd post...

P.s.
If also someone wants to reply is welcome, but please don't flame me too 
much :-)
