This contrib does not add any features to TWiki. Its purpose is to convert Perl's CGI module from being an external dependency to a component of TWiki.
This is the stub module of CgiContrib. Its only purpose is to expose the version number of CGI under its expected package name, so that the TWiki dependency checking mechanism will find it.
This contrib is a fix to numerous problems with CGI.pm
on platforms
which do not, or no longer, ship this module together with the Perl
core:
CGI
modules
CGI
distribution with its Perl versions for years.
If you have problems installing TWiki on one of these platforms
because of problems with CGI similar to TWiki:Support.SID-01980 or
TWiki:Support.SID-02001
, installing this contrib on top of TWiki
should fix it.
You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this contrib package. These instructions are for the administrator who installs the package on the server where TWiki is running.
With the next TWiki release after 6.0.1, this contrib will be
part of the TWiki core (see TWiki:Codev.AddCGIpmToTWikiCore
) and
doesn't need to be installed.
