would it make sense to replace the "more essential" parts of CGI.pm with wrappers for equivalent Mojolicious functions?

No, you can't change the guts of CGI.pm without breaking everything that makes CGI.pm what it is (CGI.pm), that's how old and ~~quirky~~ feature-full it is -- one of its design features is that you can edit CGI.pm to configure it how you prefer

but maybe it could be a step in cleaning up CGI,pm...

Not really, you're not the first to express similar thoughts in this discussion, but have you ever looked inside CGI.pm or edited it or submitted a patch? Heard of CGI::Simple?

Nicholas Clark recently said This is always the case. Talk is cheap, and there is a lot of it.

All the folks who are really interested have started forking already :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
