Version 3.02. Is there a way to go back to an earlier version, if that
will take care of this problem? It was installed by either
Bundle::CPAN or Bundle::Apache - I have installed both of these
recently.

Here is the output from that:
/usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.26> # make start_httpd
../apache_1.3.20/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t &
httpd listening on port 8529
will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log
letting apache warm up...\c

Is there any way to avoid starting to install Perl 5.6.1 when you
install Bundle::Apache or Bundle::CPAN?

What would the side effects be to doing this, if there is a problem
with CGI.pm?
IN any case, thanks for the help and direction.
