in reply to CGI.pm - put up or shut up

I like your module and I think I'm going to give it a try.

Nevertheless, I think that the CGI bloating issue is not that relevant any more, given current best-practice CGI coding standards.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but here is what I understand to be the mechanism:

Is it not basically bad coding practice to pull in a perl module with all the dependant methods rather than declaring the desired ones?

use CGI qw(:header :h1 :h2 :p :param);

As well, is the impact of the size of a module impact not decreased when using mod_perl or fastcgi? Who in their right mind is using perl without oen of these in a CGI context?
