That doesn't mean that all ways are equal. :^)
If this is test code, okay. The reason I strongly suggest CGI.pm for
production code is that it's time-tested and well-maintained. If
someone discovers a bug, it gets fixed--will that happen with your
hand-hacked algorithm?
Also, there are about a million corner cases in hand-hacked code. For
example, it's legal in HTTP to use ';' instead of '&' to separate
fields. Does your code handle that?
I can't enumerate all the arguments for CGI.pm, so I'll paste in a link
instead. There are many, many good articles on this on PerlMonks,
including:
