I’ve spent a lot time recently triaging bugs for CGI.pm. I’ve enjoyed the process, and respect CGI.pm as a widely used Perl module. I’m not in love all aspects of module. I don’t use or recommend the HTML generation features— I recommend using HTML template files and HTML::FillInForm for filling them.

Whenever I think about how I’d like to change CGI.pm,what I have mind is often the same choice that CGI::Simple made. There was a time years ago that I focused my attention on CGI::Simple and tried it in production, only to be bit by a compatibility issue, so I reverted back to CGI.pm. I don’t remember what the specific issue, and it’s likely been fixed by now. But the pragmatic point remained with me: CGI::Simple may have clean code and a good test suite, but it’s not necessarily free of defects and in particularly it lacks the vastly larger user base that CGI.pm has to provide real world beta testing.
