Oddly, I did not know that CGI.pm was dead, and I have
been programming Perl for years. I've even been to a
Dancer presentation at houston.pm
http://houston.pm.org/
and didn't have that figured out. Pretty funny, heh?
I don't use GCI.pm much, but I do use it. It has an
awful program flow (work flow) in my opinion, but gets
the job done.
What I really need is a Perl buddy (near Johnson Space
Center in Houston, TX), who can show me some new tricks.
But I can also figure these things out on my own sometimes.
I guess I'll get started on Dancer now.

Well, do you mean "CGI.pm" the perl module, which is, AFAIK rarely
used any more except in legacy applications. Gosh knows *I* haven't
used it in new code in a decade.
If you mean "CGI the common gateway interface", then I suppose it's
still used by some, but more often than not, I suspect that modern
sites are using a "Looks like CGI to the programmer, but is not REALLY
CGI, because it doesn't spawn a new process" (Popular implementatoins
are FastCGI and the CGI-like ModPerl::Registry)
