$h4X4_|=73}{ has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was wondering if any of you knew of other modules besides CGI that can upload files or a simple code to start from. The more I work on this the more I realize how much cross platform support CGI has. The down side for me if I use CGI is I'm only working on a few OS type windows and Unix/Linux

My attempt to make what I was using from CGI is mostly completed and I left this part for last. The speed gained was as mush as I expected for the features that are completed now. I use some of the same variable names and function names like CGI so I don't have to fix programs in the portal.
Progress of features for my module:
GET, POST, PUT Parameters
Write and Read Cookies
File's Upload
Header's Content
Security settings - some

Any development suggestion are welcomed.

    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.
