Well, having just searched CPAN, I can't find any reference to a module called CGI::Simple. That would seem to me to be one good reason for not using it.

The CGI module can be a simple or as complex as you want it to be, and I think it would be a shame to invest time learning CGI::Simple and then eventually find that it doesn't do something that you need. You'd then have to start again, learning how to use CGI.

Another advantage with CGI.pm is that is a part of the standard Perl distribution, so you can guarantee that you'll find it installed everywhere.

All in all, I can't think of any good reason to use any module in preference to CGI.pm.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
