People just don't want to learn. Most of the time when I look at scripts which I download from the web they use things like this:
        $buffer = "";
        read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
        @pairs=split(/&/,$buffer);
        foreach $pair (@pairs)
        {
                @a = split(/=/,$pair);
                $name=$a[0];
                $value=$a[1];
                $value =~ s/\+/ /g;
                $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1
+))/eg;
                $value =~ s/~!/ ~!/g;
                $value =~ s/\</\&lt\;/g;  # html tag removal (remove t
+hese lines to enable HTML tags in messages)
                $value =~ s/\>/\&gt\;/g;  # html tag removal (remove t
+hese lines to enable HTML tags in messages)
                $value =~ s/[\r\n]//g;
                if ($name eq "username") {
                        $value =~ s/\s*$//g;
                }
                push (@data,$name);
                push (@data,$value);
        }
        %form=@data;
        %form;

Well I just gave up, there are even guys who develop websites and think I'm a idiot because I read the whole perldoc CGI!
I must admit the first time I worked with it I was a bit slower, but now it's rewarding because I code as fast as them but my code is a lot better/safer then the copy&paste from the my fellow coders. But this is going to change because next month I will write app's for our admin's.They wanted a perl-coder because they know writing safe perl-code is so cool :-)
