The qw operator makes a text into a list by splitting at
the whitespace.

That list is passed to the module as an argument. In
CGI.pm's case these arguments are used to specify what
subset of CGI.pm's functions should be exported to your
namespace so that they can be called by their name.

See the CGI.pm manpage, section "USING THE FUNCTION-
ORIENTED INTERFACE", for a list of export tags.

HTH,
Thomas
