For now, just change the scripts to use CGI.pm with cgi-lib emulation.

Actually it is (or was). We discovered that cgi-lib sometimes would not
return a page correctly, instead we would only get a cgi-lib header or
message (or something like that which mentioned cgi-lib) from time to time
when accessing the scripts. It wasn't very professional.
We simply changed to CGI.pm with cgi-lib emulation (so we didn't have to
change the code) and the problems went away on our local systems. Note
that we use to see the same problem when accessing the RWI, but I haven't
encountered it in awhile. Does the RWI now use CGI.pm?
