Error: Perl 5.004 required
here is the full error:
Error Loading System Libraries. Reason: Perl 5.004 required--this is only version 5.00302, stopped
at /mypath/nph-verify.cgi line 32.

My ISP will not install 5.004. Is there anything I can do to get link verification working? Thank you.

require 5.004;
change the 5.004 to 5.003 and see if it works. Im not too sure of the difference between the 2 Perl verson so it may not work.

And change ISP as fast as you can, then tell all their other existing customers the same.

On code from M$ a minor version number means they caught a spelling error.

On PERL ... the minor version numbers often stand for significant changes, and more importantly, changes in what is included in the 'default' distribution.

You can find the differences at www.perl.com

The current 'stable' release is 5.005.03 and some of the major changes were default inclusions. Version 5.005.68 is out, and that is considered 'alpha' for version 5.006 so your ISP is _WAY_ behind.....

Considering it takes all of about 10 minutes to upgrade PERL, and the upgrades are_always_ worth it.... Find a new ISP
