in reply to CGI.pm manual?

Not sure if you're still looking but the closest I could find to a spec/manual was in perlfaq9 : RFC Memo on 'The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Version 1.1' from 2004.

    CGI.pm is module, there is no official manual, other than the documentation , which as OP states is a tutorial, and the source

    Ok, there is a book of some sort, but, the source code is fairly self-documenting, and the tutorial is thorough :)
