If CGI-modules is obsolete, perhaps perl can simply conflict with it.
dselect might even be smart enough to notice that libcgi-perl can
replace CGI-modules, and offer to do so when it tries to resolve the
conflict.  (libcgi-perl has Conflicts and Replaces lines for
CGI-modules).

Note that libcgi-perl does not (that I can see) use diversions,
instead it has Replaces: perl.
