As long as CGI is still available from CPAN, I don&#x27;t really mind.<p>But I still think CGI scripts have their place, and I have written a bunch over the last two years at our company. I get that CGI has a number of problems, but for simple tasks I think it&#x27;s a completely acceptable solution.<p>(Just to be clear, I am talking of CGI as in &quot;web server calling an external program through a defined interface&quot;, not the HTML-generating stuff in Perl&#x27;s CGI module - my scripts use Template::Toolkit for generating HTML.)
