I can support this statement: In a ~30k lines (incl POD) web project I actually use CGI.pm mostly for parameter parsing: $ grep -ri 'cgi->' * | grep -v new | wc -l 97 Wehereas I hardly use for anything else: $ grep -ri 'cgi->' * | grep -v new | grep -v param | wc -l 7 4 of these 7 matches address file upload handling, the other 3 match in an other custom module with the name *::CGI - not CGI.pm. But I think that it would be a good idea to create a clean, "servlety" foundation, upon which you still can implement a 200 lines CGI.pm/Web.pm/foo.pm that covers the most common web-request tasks.
