A lot has changed. I confess I didn't try to hack this in to much detail. I searched the mailing-list and I found many threads saying bad things about CGI.pm and mod_perl2, so I thought about asking this list this very specific question. > You could try CGI::Simple, which has the same (OO) interface as CGI.pm. That's a really cool hint. Thanks!! I've neved used CGI::Simple before, and I'll take a look at it. Although cpan.org/modules/by-module/CGI/Cgi-Simple-0.06.readme warns about not using this module with production environment.. but they all say that right? Hmm.. little red devil in left shoulder yells "YES!", "GO FOR IT", little blue angel in another shoulder says "no henrique, think". > > Seriously, does mod_perl2 offer much more > > features and benefits then mod_perl1?
