No need to wish, since it already exists: CGI::Simple

Oh! That's helpful thanks...

I shall have to look into this further. Currently, I use a module I have written and used for a very long time. It exports two hashes: %data that holds the query key/value pairs. Also, %file, is a strange two-dimensional hash holding both the file data and the filename for named upload files. This was written before I understood references so it could do with changing or replacing but I've got so used to writing for this module that it's become muscle memory...
