RE: Get those parameters without CGI.pm

[swiftone]

I haven't tried it, but if you are looking to avoid the overhead of CGI.pm, you might look into CGI_Lite.pm, which isn't as expansive, but has presumably been tested for problems.

Another solution is the Perl 4 library cgi-lib.pl (or cgilib.pl). It's been through a great deal of testing, and you can always lift the subs right out of it if you don't want separate libraries.

CGI.pm is better all around, but sometimes you do want something else.

Lincoln has said for some time that he knows that CGI.pm is too big and is planning to split the module out into a number of smaller modules. No idea when this might happen tho'.

There was also some talk about building a series of smaller modules from scratch on the ny.pm mailing list few months ago. Michael Schwern was leading the attack, but nothing has made it into his CPAN directory yet!
