Hi!

I guess Steve Comrie has answered the first question.

As for the second question, there should be no shortfalls at all.
CGI::Simple is CGI.pm compliant -- i.e. it has the same interface inputs
and outputs (basically -- less the html generation).

The only mandatory elements (that I know of - but don't hold me to it)
are param() to access the values passed into the script, header() to
generate headers and redirect() to do a redirect header.

Whatever other features you use from that object are up to you.

To see more on CGI::Simple's CGI.pm compatibility:

To see some of the differences:

A list of methods from CGI.pm that are not in CGI::Simple:

_IN_CGI_pm_NOT_IN_CGI_Simple

I have no idea about CGI::Minimal, but a quick glance shows a lack of
header() and redirect() methods. I supposed you could subclass it and
add them yourself.

HTH,
