I have reviewed the coding of CGI and found the module to be out dated, huge and coded very messy. I know others have made this same assumption, but for CGI's defense it works well and is a good module to use if you don't want to make your own.

What I need help on is a list of module's that do what CGI.pm does more or less. I'm in the possess of making my own module with some of the same features of CGI.pm but a more optimized and cleaner looking code.

The planned features of the module are:
GET, POST, PUT Parameters
Write and Read Cookies
File's Upload
Header's Content
Security settings

Its really not that much to make and I have most of it made. The list of other module that do some of the same things as CGI.pm are to give me an idea of what other things I can add in or change. Any development suggestion are welcomed.
Stewie: You know, I rather like this God fellow. Very theatrical, you know. Pestilence here, a plague there. Omnipotence ... gotta get me some of that.
