use CGI qw/ :cgi /;

gets you the param, cookie, header, user_agent and all that stuff .. but
none of the html stuff .. 

I don't really mind .. I;ve used both . .I like being able to just bung a
hashref and an arrayref at a function and get a list back .. I like its
sticky cgi parameters .... 

otoh the project I inherited is based around cgi-lib so all you get is

still waiting for Demon to get their servers unlisted from orbs ... :(
