Hi Tony,
 
In this case you could best install the latest CGI version using CPAN.
execute the following as root:
 
 # perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> install CGI
this will install the latest CGI version right off the CPAN.

Hi there,
 
I'm running CentOS 5.4 and downloaded and installed OTRS 2.4.5 via the RPM available on your site.
 
When running ./bin/otrs.checkModules, I get the following issue:
 
./ otrs.checkModules
   o CGI............................failed!!! Version 3.15 installed but 3.33 or higher is required!
 
Perl::CGI comes with the base Perl package in RedHat based distros such as CentOS... Thus,
 
rpm -qa | grep -i '^perl-5'
perl-5.8.8-27.el5
 
However, no matter what software repository I use with 'yum', there is no higher version upgrade for Perl.  So there's no possible way for me to use mod_perl with CentOS/RHEL 5.* because OTRS' requirement is too high.  Is there a way to make it work?  What is the requirement that is in version 3.33 and not the lower 3.15 version that OTRS makes use of?  At this time, it is pointless for me to upgrade OTRS from 2.3.x or else I suffer breaking and slowing down my OTRS installation.
