I can't quite grasp the purpose for such a 'wrapper'

I was using CGI in several modules used by several scripts. The two main issues were:

• POST data only got slurped into the first creation of a CGI object
• changes to a param() value didn't change that param() in a different namespace

Because these modules developed organically, there was no clear structure. I didn't want to have to do a lot of re-writing to solve the issues, so creating one shared object quickly solved the problem and (hopefully) future problems.
