Just as an FYI, HTM::Mason does provide access to the CGI.pm.

You are advised to not access the structure directly, even though you can. Mason provides access through object references.

Also, you are able to take advantage of the HTML constructs as documented in the Mason FAQ here

I'm inclined to believe that using the CGI constructs is probably a "good thing" as you get the side benefit, as merlyn states: Re: Re: use CGI or die;, of CGI.pm spitting out XHTML.
