[freeside] Error when trying to access the .cgi's

[ivan]

Let me suggest something more productive than repetetive reinstalls:

You can determine perl's @INC variable by issuing the `perl -V' command.
You can do the same from within mod_perl by just doing
"warn join(',', at INC);" in some mod_perl code.

Now, check all the directories listed for an old FS/CGI.pm (yes, one level
down).  If you find one (or more) that aren't what came with pre11, delete
the whole old FS/ directory or directories.  You've fixed your problem.

If you don't find any old FS/CGI.pm, then you should run some simple tests
to see if your Exporter is working at all.  `man Exporter' and try
using it in some simple code to dupliate the problem, and so on.
