PERL POST_MAX
I am trying to use CGI POST_MAX to prevent excessive file uploads.
If the maximum is exceeded it seems to result in a hang.
A brief perusal of CGI.PM reveals that it is Version 3.05 and it seems that there are changes that address the use of POST_MAX in versions up to 3.21.
Two questions.
1. Can one apply changes to CGI.PM simply by using the editor or is there a more involved process?
2. Is there a prospect of an HP supported update to PERL/CSWS PERL?

Re: PERL POST_MAX
The easiest most probably is to download the current versoin of the CGI module from CPAN,
unpack, perl Makefile.PL, mms/mmk, mms/mmk test, mms/mmk install.
If you realy want to, yes, PM is just another text file.

Re: PERL POST_MAX
In case you don't know what CPAN is, you can follow Martin's suggestion by getting the latest version of the module here:
http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.42/
Since it's a pure-Perl module, you don't even need a C compiler to build and install it. I would certainly recommend testing whether it solves your problem before rolling it out in a production environment.
As far as your question #2, only HP can answer that. If you have a support contract, you might log a call regarding your current problem and see if they give you any update plans. VMS-specific development work on Perl continues steadily, but it's been some years since HP availed themselves of it.

Re: PERL POST_MAX
Thank you both for the responses.
I did know where to go to do my own thing, but, obviously, I would prefer to get a supported fix. However, I will see if we can get a response from Digital^h^h^h^h^h^h^hCompaq^h^h^h^h^h^hHP regarding an update for CSWS PERL.
