I would suggest that the most efficient approach might be to import
just one symbol from CGI.pm, explicitly. Now, Aaron, I'm not saying
you are wrong, however, I do suggest that we encorage standards for
beginners.
In light of the above, ensuring your code won't break *and* that you
get only what you need, try the following:
use CGI qw( params );
This ensured that you only get the params() function for handling
simple form submissions and none of the extra stuff gets played with.
