You're crossing up between two different cgi packages:
cgi-lib.pl, which you've added in with the require statement
the perl module CGI, which needs to be added with the line
use CGI ;
But I don't know if you have the CGI module, so that approach may not work
for you.
If you rely just on the cgi-lib package, I think it will work for you if you
replace the line in fixedform.cgi that reads
if (CGI::ReadParse(*input)) {
with the line
if (&ReadParse(*input)) (
But I haven't tried this to be sure, so it's only a guess.
(BTW, I'm limited at this point by my relative unfamiliarity with the
various cgi libraries for perl. I started doing Web stuff in perl before
these packages were readily available, so I wrote my own routines to do what
they do and never bothered to switch to these packages, even after they
became the standards.)
Hope this helps. Good luck.
