if you're asking about platform independent cgi, i'm not exactly sure where you're going that cgi.pm isn't. my personal issue was that i didn't like needing to print out all of this stuff that cgi only sorta covered for me and i think html in perl scripts looks bastardized. my original move was to html::template, but i don't really like that either - i've got a script made just for that module and i've got to keep both the template and script open to remember what variables i've got going on and where.

so, now i'm in the process to output all of my data in json and use javascript on the client. my only problem here is that i hate javascript. however, i'm hoping it'll give me cleaner code and enough flexibility to make up for my loathing.
