Sad to say, CGI->new is mostly just lipstick on a pig. Behind the scenes, it still puts everything in globals. CGI.pm is just not an OO module. However, it is safe to use with mod_perl because it reinitializes the globals on each request. The only problems I've run into with this are from internal redirects, when it doesn't realize there's a fresh request. - Perrin
