So my questions are: how many people still depend on CGI? How many have moved to using the other modules, and have you found that worthwhile? What are the best CGI::* modules to use that replace the functions of CGI?
As I've never used CGI.pm for output, I'm perfectly happy with CGI::Simple these days. I've found that it lives up to its claim and really is a drop-in replacement. (Thanks tachyon!)
And which are the ones that can generate XHTML compliant code?
I wouldn't look to the CGI:: modules for that. Consider using templates and generating your own XHTML compliant output.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
