    http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=CGI.pm

That site notes that it has passed tests on MacOS_PPC.  search.cpan.org,
and testers.cpan.org, and Paul Schinder, the tester to beat all testers,
are Good Things.

A Better(tm) method is using cpan-mac.  Install cpan-mac, then drop a Perl
distribution on the installme program that comes with it, and it will be
installed.  Make sure you read the cpan-mac README.

But you can, of course, de-gzip and un-tar with other programs, and move
the files yourself.  This method is just easier (once you get it installed).
