+ I'm completely replacing this answer. The previous version was pretty aggressive and ranted about cargo-culting. It also digressed into a discussion of HTTP methods.
+ The new answer showcases CGI.pm, and gives a couple examples. I'd like people to use it because it's easier, not because we decreed it's use.
It's undoubtedly an improvement. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/msg/eab4683cd6949531
+ I also removed the reference to cgi-lib.pl. It is 2005 now :)
That makes much sense as well. I think that the light-weight CPAN modules (CGI::Lite, CGI::Fast, CGI::Minimal) should be mentioned, though.
