Without looking at the new CGI.pm, I'd say that the benefit of our new module
would be that it's targetted specifically at mod_perl, so it should hopefully
be smaller, and ideally it would be faster. The non-backwards compatible nature
of the new interface also allows us to cut down on some of the overhead of
CGI.pm's need to figure out which calling style is used.
