the use CGI qw/:standard/; is left over from that, I thought it was invoking CGI.

use CGI; is all you need if you are using the OO interface (that's when you do my $q = CGI->new;). The 'qw/:standard/' part imports function names so that you don't need the $q variable and lets you, e.g., say 'param($field)' instead of '$q->param($field)', which makes it a little more of a hassle, but I don't like to import anything I don't have to, and sometimes you might need to create more than one CGI object, and so in that case the OO way is the only way to go.
