Details

This is a regression of bug 416382, which for good reasons, made us require CGI 3.33. Neither ActiveState's PPM repository nor the one of the University of Winnipeg we recommend via Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm offers this version of CGI, though. What can be done about this? Perhaps one of the following: - blacklist Perl 5.10, at least on Windows - require another repository (Frédéric pointed me to one offering CGI 3.33) - Other ideas?
Flags: blocking3.2?
It's very easy to contact the UWinnipeg maintainer and ask him to provide that version of CGI.pm.

If the UWinnipeg guy doesn't respond, this would be a blocker and we could re-open it and figure out what to do. It affects 3.0 users just as much, though.
Flags: blocking3.2?
Reopening in order to track this. I don't understand why this isn't a blocker *now*, and simply has the potential to get resolved quickly and before the last of the currently existing blockers gets resolved. Frédéric, Max mentioned that you contacted UoW already?

Sure, I'd agree that we should fix this before 3.2.

This is going to be a problem for 3.0.4 too. (In reply to comment #3) > Frédéric, Max mentioned that you contacted UoW already? Yes, I did it today.
