I do, naturally, have the very same difficulty with understanding abstractions in documentation as I have with them in actual code. I scanned the documentation for parts that I thought I could understand, and did not look closely at the rest. Obviously, I had mistaken the module for being a compatible replacement to CGI. It isn't, and therefore is not suited to my needs.
It reminds me a little of an AJAX module I once incorporated into my scripts. It worked for awhile, until I discovered it was occasionally doing something unpredictable, and altering my data during transfers--resulting in errors in the database. That's when I learned to program the AJAX for myself, and kicked the module to the proverbial curb, never to be needed again (and those errors have not recurred). I often find the need to do things myself, as what others have done is not compatible. I doubt I am alone in this.
