in thread CGI problem: USING THE FUNCTION-ORIENTED INTERFACE

It is unfortunate that the recent CGI changes didn't actually bother to address this problem.

Patches welcome.

To the original poster - you're referring to out of date documentation. Rule one (perhaps two) with perl - look at the latest documentation, because there's a lot of old, outdated, and bad advice out there. Latest CGI.pm docs are here

    Patches welcome.

    Already submitted a patch to CGI.pm. Already had it rejected.

    The suggestion is spelled out quite clearly above and is nearly trivial to implement. If the maintainers like the idea, then they can implement it about as easily as they can review a patch request (and implement exactly to their taste rather than look at a patch that doesn't quite fit their taste). If they don't like the idea, then a patch request would just be a waste of my time and theirs.

    Thanks for your kindly reply. I find the old document by searching 'cpan cgi' keyword via google, which is listed on the top and make troubles. In the future, I will search via CPAN first, and then google.
