From the changelog of the latest release of Perl: "CGI has been upgraded from version 3.63 to 3.65. NOTE: CGI is deprecated and may be removed from a future version of Perl."

You can still make arguments about list handling in Perl, but using a deprecated module, which has been understood by the community for years to be problematic and exists mostly for backwards compatibility, does not bolster your argument, it does the opposite.

Using large monolithic projects that were started 10+ years (Twiki: 1998, Movable Type: 2001, Bugzilla: open sourced by Mozilla in 1998) ago also doesn't lend itself well towards pointing out modern usage of Perl.

Feel free to make any argument you want, but you should use relevant examples if you hope to be taken seriously.
