I used bash cgi scripts all the time. Haven’t used a python cgi module but the main benefit of perl’s cgi module (also removed) is the query parameter parsing.

I think CGI.pm is still in CPAN? It was never in the Perl standard library, was it?

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the query parameter parsing is still in the Python standard library, just invoked differently.

Yes, it's still in CPAN, but previously it was in the standard library.
I didn't realize! Well, shame on P5P.
