script fails loading module version, but > version is installed

Allasso has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

just installed W3C validator, and all the required perl modules and additional software. When I run a test I get this:

path.../httpd/cgi-bin/check uri=http://www.w3.org/ CGI version 3.4 required--this is only version 3.05 at /Library/WebSer +ver/Documents/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 44. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /Library/WebServer/Documents/vali +dator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 44.
However, I installed CGI version 3.55, which went without a hitch.

Anyone know why I would get an error like this?

Thanks.

    You're not using the same perl

    or you installed CGI 3.55 in a location perl doesn't know about

    or you installed CGI 3.55 in a directory perl (when running under the user account of your webserver) cannot access

    or something else like that

      You're not using the same perl

      I put this at the top of the script being run:
      print "PERL VERSION : "; print `perl -v`; print "\n"; __END__
      it prints this:
      PERL VERSION : This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-2level blah blah...
      - same as the version I am running with -e on the command line...

      I don't know what other perl I could be running.

        Output %INC resp. $INC{"CGI.pm"} in the good and the bad case to see which file gets loaded from where.

        I don't know what other perl I could be running.

        You're not checking to see which perl you're running

        $ perl -e " die $^X" C:\perl\5.12.2\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\perl.exe at -e line 1.

        Similarly compare %ENV, INC, %INC

        Some have installed 85+ different perls

      You're not using the same perl

      ?

      or you installed CGI 3.55 in a location perl doesn't know about

      or you installed CGI 3.55 in a directory perl (when running under the user account of your webserver) cannot access

      perl -e 'use CGI; print "CGI: $CGI::VERSION";' CGI: 3.55
      ?

    Hi,

    I think you may have 2 versions of CGI installed, and your perl is still pointing at the old one.

    Try searching for CGI and see what you get.

    J.C.

    A little background:

    Installed per the instructions lined out here:

    http://validator.w3.org/docs/install.html#install-prereq

    installed modules manually - I tried install Bundle::W3C::Validator but it didn't work.
