If you want and no, respectively.
Mind you, I'd be more inclined just to ask Mr Stien and forego Yet
Another Perl RFC. I feel the Perl 6 RFCs should just track stuff that is
specific to Perl 6. These CGI::* modules should be quite capable of
being used in Perl 5.

Sounds good. The less that is in core and the more that is in modules,
the better, I think. Core doesn't need to split up CGI stuff. That could
be tortuous if future HTTP protocols change their requirements (which is
quite possible). Someone posited that perl6 should be the final version
of perl (with versions converging on 2*pi iirc). The more that is in
modules, the more easily this is accomplished.

Q: How do I block warnings?
A: The simplest way is to do: close STDERR; -- perliaq.
