newbie to perl; am an experienced java programmer

shouldn't every perl web installation support:

require "cgi-lib.pl";

On Earthlink hosting unix servers, this particular
line doesn't work. They claim to support perl
and perl5. I tracked the problem down to that
specific line.

NO support from them whatsoever, so pls advise.

One possibility. Download your own copy of "cgi-lib.pl" from the web and
install it in the same directory as your cgi scripts, then everything
should work ok.

1) 'require "cgi-lib.pl";' is obsolete - the modern
replacement is 'use CGI;'.

2) You'll get better results posting to comp.lang.perl.misc
instead of here (comp.lang.perl).
