I'm trying to defend against a lawsuit from some guys who are claiming a patent on a subset of CGI. (You can view the patent here). I'm looking for any published or publically available Perl scripts written before May 15, 1994 that use CGI.

I'm pretty sure that CGI.pm won't work, as it was written after 1994 (I think). Anyone know of any really old scripts out there that can help me get rid of these guys?

Update: Just to clarify, I meant "scripts written before 1994 that have CGI capabilities," not "scripts written before 1994 that use the CGI package." Sorry for any confusion.
