I never ever disagree with you that CGI is universal. CGI is and will always be an option to deploy web apps in hosts that supports it. But as it's said elsewhere on this thread, CGI doesn't always mean nor require CGI.pm. If you need to write a script that works "out of the box with any web host", good luck to make sure it works with every CGI.pm that's shipped with perl. For instance perl 5.8.6 is shipped with CGI.pm 3.05 and there has been 645 lines worth of Changes with CGI.pm since then. https://metacpan.org/source/MARKSTOS/CGI.pm-3.63/Changes -- Tatsuhiko MiyagawaThread Previous | Thread Next
