I don't agree. Why should I spend all that time loading up CGI.pm when all
I want to get is the query string? It's far more efficient to have a
subroutine that does that. If I want to use CGI.pm's many features, such
as form writing, or file uploading, or whatever, it's worth loading the
module up. But for simple, one-time things like getting user input, I
think it's overkill to use CGI.pm.
