I'll have to agree with most of the responses here.

While most of my work starts off with "use strict; use warnings;" I have, no problem discarding them when it makes sense. Many times, most of the benefit from these are when you're developing anyway. There's nothing wrong with not using them when you know why you are not and what the implications are.

While the HTML functionality of CGI, should have been a subclass, it isn't, but it works and you get a CGI swiss army knife in core which is not a bad thing at all. Now if you wanted to argue about adding a lighter alternative in core, I would think that would be a good idea.
