Following up to my own post, this invocation of the debugger shows just how
many symbols were added by <tt>CGI</tt>:
<code>
halfdome.holdit.com> perl -debug
Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.0402
Emacs support available.
Enter h or `h h' for help.
main::(-e:1): bug
DB<1> x scalar keys %main::
0 73
DB<2> use CGI qw(:standard);
DB<3> x scalar keys %main::
0 227
DB<4>
</code>
Note that the <tt>main</tt> symbol table jumped from 73 stabs to 227 stabs.
There's work behind this, and that's gonna slow you down a bit. It also takes
a lot of space.
