The next version of CGI.pm, available at CPAN as CGI3.pm, will break the various 'functions' of CGI into several submoudles, allowing you to only use those parts that you need. It's still considered beta quality, but it's there for you to experiment with.

There's also CGI_Lite which may not be as robust in error/taint checking as CGI.pm, but only does the CGI environment parsing.
