Does Lincoln Recommend It? - Re: CGI.pm version 3

[metadoktor]

CGI.pm Version 3.01 Version 3.0 of CGI.pm provides a modularized design and significant performance enhancements, courtesy David James. Please try and report any bugs or misfeatures to me.

Hmm...if Lincoln is not maintaining it then why does he want people to report the problems with 3.0 to him?

That's a good question. I've emailed Lincoln asking about his thoughts on CGI v.3; my assumption is that he does recommend it, since he calls it CGI.pm version 3. However, he also added new features to version 2.

This was the response I got back from Lincoln Stein:

Actually I've scheduled version 3 to be removed from CPAN altogether.
It has too many bugs for production use and although many people send
me bug reports, no one has volunteered to help me fix them.
