or even mojolicious is more effort.  perl -MCGI=:all -E " say header(), start_html(), h1('OHAI'), start_form(), p(textfield('search')), submit('Go'), end_form(), end_html() "

I love CGI.pm too, but Mojolicious is just as quick for lots of things :) 

$ mojo generate lite_app RoShamBo.pl
  [exist] C:\test
  [write] C:\test\RoShamBo.pl
  [chmod] RoShamBo.pl 744

$ cat RoShamBo.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;

# Documentation browser under "/perldoc"
plugin 'PODRenderer';

get '/' => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->render('index');
};

app->start;
