When I installed it with Macports recently it gave me a warning that CGI.pm is now in maintenance mode and should not be used for new projects. I get the nostalgia value but Dancer and Mojolicious are surely better alternatives?

It would be unusual to be doing new work in CGI, but I was looking at it recently because that was presented as an easy option for writing a cPanel plugin. At the very least, it's good to know that security fixes will still be applied to CGI.pm if they're needed.
