1) It will be released when there are enough people banging on it and
submitting comments. Hence it is in alpha because the API could change in
the future, BUT it is wanting for people to help test.
2) The interface for CGI.pm 3.x is that the monolithic pre-3.0 CGI.pm was
broken into a well defined object hierarchy.
Otherwise, I believe it is basically the same API.
