in thread Stop Using Perl

Yeah, the problem is CGI::param() not DBI

Hmm, did you ever submit a bug report for that? :)

Speaking of this talk:

bugzilla doesn't even use CGI.pm, it uses Bugzilla::CGI ... if they went that far they could have fixed the API

movable type wasn't doing any argument validation while generating dynamic sql ... can't blame it on CGI

Is CGI.pm's actual interface the best? No, but its been that way for the past 20+ years and its using a common perl feature (context sensitivity) ...

but yeah, context sensitivity is just mental overhead that is easy to avoid
