I see that argument. So build a lean, well-designed CGI module, but also offer a CGI5 module that aggregates the CGI stuff along with HTML::Gen and whatnot into a CGI.pm5-compatible API melange for easy porting. No need to drag old mistakes along for all eternity just for the sake of their familiarity. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
