If you have a problem with Catalyst dependencies, please report them to irc.perl.org #catalyst (I'm mst on there).

Any time anybody reports a problem with them, we go out of our way to solve it - avoiding wheel reinvention is important to us to speed development but we understand that using a module makes us responsible for it installing for end users.

if you really want CGI.pm, there are Plack modules to convert a PSGI environment to a CGI environment - descended roughly from the Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI that Opsview sponsored Shadowcat to write years ago.

And remember, PSGI might appear to be new but much of the guts of Plack are pulled from previous framework-specific code so the various workarounds for server insanities are already there. It's a lot more reliable than you appear to think.

I see. Perhaps my vision of the state of PSGI is not right indeed. Nethertheless, my apps run under Fast::CGI and I really don't see the advantage of PSGI.
