Actually a number of modules in CPAN are also included in the core
perl package; CGI.pm is one such, as is Storable, etc.  Perl 5.8.3 in
Rawhide includes CGI.pm 3.01.

Built into rawhide this afternoon.  The patch wasn't necessary, it
seemed to pass its 'make test' just fine.  Actually, a lot of other
packages were built into rawhide, too.
