I totally agree with you. Let me ask the person who suggested that we not use CGI.pm? Do you have as much experience in Perl as Larrry Wall - obviouslly not. As much as Lincoln Stien? I sincerley doubt it. Then why would you doubt their judgment in including (as extremely said) CGI.pm with the core Perl package? So instead, you would rather waste time copying routines from the CGI module (some of which I have a feeling you know nothing about) into a new module of yours - untested - and use that?

Listen, the people who write these modules know what they are doing, and the people who decide to include them understand that the benefit of that module will be great on the Perl community, so just trust them. Well, thats my two cents, atleast.
