The perl version I am required to use does not support it.

I have tried to use a more recent version of perl which has feature
'signatures' on Centos 7 without success.

It is basically possible to use more recent versions of perl, but it
doesn´t seem possible to bring lighttpd to use such versions.  It
insists on not loading the libraries required by more recent versions of
perl.  And I can not get around running the perl programs as CGI.

When I encountered this problem, I tought it´s easy enough to modify the
programs, but it turns out that this feature is virtually a
requirement.  Without it, I will have to go to ridiculous lengths to
simulate what it does, which is error prone and costs performance.
