Lincoln Stein (the author of CGI.pm) has said on a number of occasions that he'd like to break CGI.pm down into a number of smaller modules. I've got no information on how far he has progressed on this project. A new version of CGI.pm (2.75) was released only a few weeks ago.

There was also some talk a few months ago of someone else (Schwern, I think) making an attempt at creating a new set of CGI modules, but nothing seems to have come of that project yet.
