in thread Remove CGI.pm from Perl Core?

I wholly concur with your point. CGI.pm has useful functions, but it is still 90% crud that probably should not be used (namely, the parts that output HTML. And the double procedural/OO interface).

Core needs a module that speaks CGI but only does the bare necessities: Query strings, cookies, HTTP headers, HTML/URI escaping... and that's about it? CGI::Lite?

    Core needs a module that speaks CGI

    Sure it doesn't ;)

    CGI::Lite?

    Nope, a module that hasn't seen an update since 2003

      It was just an example. I can see that the module is far from ideal.
