Correcting CGI Perl Module for Bugzilla 3.4.2
I was recently installing Bugzilla on a new server and ran into problems with the CGI perl module from CPAN being too recent. Apparently, version 3.47 has some issues, so I had to downgrade to 3.45.
Bugzilla recommends that you use their installer when the checksetup.pl script spits out missing modules. However, if you encounter problems or need older version, this won’t work.
However, their own script makes a copy of the CGI.pm file inside of the bugzilla libs/ directory.
In order to solve the issue, you need download and install the proper version, but then copy of the file to the bugzilla libs folder.
$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/L/LD/LDS/CGI.pm-3.45.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf CGI.pm-3.45.tar.gz
$ cd CGI*
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make install
$ cp /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI.pm /var/www/vhosts/trellisdev.com/subdomains/bugs/httpdocs/lib/CGI.pm
Then, continue with your checksetup.pl process as usual.
