Has anyone heard from James Freeman, the maintainer of CGI::Simple
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Cgi-Simple/)?  It's not been updated in a
couple of years, the outstanding bugs appear to mostly be related to
the same issue, and I tried emailing him about this using the contact
email he provided at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=tachyon.

I'm not particularly keen on taking over this distribution, but he's
not fixing this bug or even responding.  He also notes that Perl is a
"fond corner of [his] past", suggesting that unless someone snags
CGI::Simple, this very popular (and useful!) module will not be fixed.

I've just made a new release that tidies up the tests (they now use Test::More), adds support for mod_perl 2 (tested locally but almost certainly needs more testing).

I'm going to hit the mod_perl mailing lists to try to recruit someone who can test it in a realistic mp2 environment.

When you say 'the outstanding bugs' were you referring to the mp2 issue? I'm planning to work through all the bugs but I guessed that that one was probably the most pressing.
