The CGI.pm that is currently available with FC7 is version 3.15. That version has a problem - if a form is uploaded of size greater than POST_MAX, the CGI script will peg the CPU until the web server kills it (Apache has default 120 seconds timeout). This ends up having problems on server, as well the client which now sees an empty page, or a "cannot load web page" message. The latest versions of CGI.pm is 3.29 - using cpan to "install CGI" will bring this latest version to a FC7 box. So, that is a workaround for anyone else who is running CGI scripts on FC7 and using POST_MAX. But - note that when perl/perl-lib gets update, an yum update will revert back the CGI.pm to 3.15! (As it happened last week when I did an yum update). That may be another issue - cpan updates and yum updates. Still the key question I'm curious about - how does the FC7 repos get updated? 3.15 CGI.pm is now quite old - when will FC7 get the latest CGI.pm?
