CGI is a core module on millions of computers. Apple ships Perl 5.18.2/CGI with macOS on brand-new Macs as one example. There are countless nodes on Perlmonks recommending and teaching CGI. Just because some newbie hijacked Perl's most popular and useful module does not mean you weirdos who troll every CGI node don't look ridiculous. CGI.pm represents 17 years of development by a huge number of people and trying to throw it away is disrespectful nonsense.

This is not a video game.
CGI is not the bad guy.
Even though you get points here for killing him.

Points! And an imaginary cup of coffee...
