Yes. 

CGI is one of the few I had to upgrade manually on my FreeBSD
system. When I say manually, I mean copying the CGI.pm from the latest
distribution over the top of the system one.

For reasons that I do not recall, doing a proper 'perl Makefile.PL &&
make && make install' did not work. Probably something very similar to
what happened to you up there :-)

The other option is to upgrade your system perl via the ports.

See http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=192255 for a mass of
useful information on that path. It is however a large step to do on a
production machine.
