Then you'll probably cotton on pretty smartly. :-) You're arguing a valid point, but you need to consider the background for the change -- the staleness of the CGI.pm module in the perl distribution has caused trouble for lots of people in the past, so this change does _some_ good. Just not the good you want. :-) A near-perfect alternative solution is for someone with LOADS of free time onhand to commit to keeping the perl modules on HEAD and RELENG_4 well-sync'd with distribution versions. This is not a part time job, so in the meantime, this change will make some people happy. Ciao, Sheldon.
