Even in a traditional CGI (as opposed to doing it properly with templates
and session management and all that malarkey) all I want from a library
is argument parsing and cgi-lib does that well enough thankyouverymuch.
I am perfectly capable of writing HTML myself, and it will be a damned
sight more readable - both in the perl code and when I view source of the
resulting pages - if I avoid CGI.pm's html stuff like the festering
plague-pustule that it is.
