Subject: README installation instructions are incorrect
Text from README: --- HOW DO I INSTALL IT? <removed some text> If this doesn't work for you, try: cp lib/CGI.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5 --- But actually that is not enough, because CGI.pm itself uses CGI::Util and some functions require CGI::Cookie as well. So that trick can lead to different kinds of issues, from non-compiling CGI to even nastier stuff if you simply copy CGI.pm over an existing (older) version.

You are correct. That's an outdated approach, and the docs should be amended. Thanks for the report! Mark
