I am most certainly NOT one who knows all the nooks and crannies.  However this is a 
larger project that I am only picking up my part on.  Changing things to use CGI.pm 
would require a LOT of re-coding.  Plus these are things that I should know about.  
Understanding them better makes me a better coder.  I would always rather learn that 
lean on an already created package.  Don't get me wrong of course, I love CGI.PM.  
Bless them for making it.  And I do use it plenty.  But I believe this project is 
going to be done mostly by hand.  As for the security, I'm pretty sure that we doing a 
good job with that.  At least good enough for this project.....

True true.

Thanks for your input Uri.
