Hello,
I installed CGI.pm 2.39 library on a UNIX server / Perl5.003

Then I tried a form handling script which parses inputs and prints on
the fly to pages, I got this error message:

&UNIVERSAL::isa called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/CGI.pm line 276

The script I tried starting with this:

use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use strict;

And The line that server is talking about is this:

276)          unless (defined($_[0]) &&
277)          (ref($_[0]) eq 'CGI' || UNIVERSAL::isa($_[0],'CGI')) #
slightly optimized for common case

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Sincerely

Or you could try and find an old version of CGI.pm which is 5.003
compatible.

Why doesn't CGI.pm 2.39 have a  "use 5.004;" in it, since it isn't
compatible with earlier Perls?

Hello,

I was using perl4, than I installed perl5.003. (I didnot uninstall
perl4, coz I dont know how. Also I have some scripts which are working
with it.)
Now I want to upgrade as you adviced, but I dont know how. Should I
just download the latest version and just install it? Will it replace
the old one? (I am using a virtual server. And my space is limited as
you know. )
I would apreciate any advice...

Thanks again,
Good luck on all your works,
Sincerely
