I wouldn't mod you down, but I'd still use CGI.pm, even for something this simple, mainly because it takes care of the fact that improperly capitalized headers will make your page behave strangely on some browsers. I'd rather not worry about it, and it's quicker to develop a script like this with CGI.pm than to go and check the exact, proper method to make a header.

Do I use strict and taint checking for little scripts like this that don't take input? Nope. But for everything longer than 5 lines or that takes input I do, just in case.
