Following up to my own post, this invocation of the debugger shows just how
many symbols were added by CGI:
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>
Note that the main 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.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
