Thanks for your work maintaining CGI.pm! Thumbs up! CGI.pm helped building the internet and this design to return a list in list context was perfectly OK back then. One can't predict all edge cases and get a project running. And after features are released you're bound to backwards compatibility. It's unfortunate that => wasn't designed as a scalar operator in Perl. And it's also not CGI's fault that methods like DBI->quote can't propagate signatures. As I said not all edge cases are predictable.
