I agree that CGI.pm is great for getting away from hand-rolled solutions. It may not be perfect, but you could do far, far worse.

Handling cookies is nice, but there again, other modules exist that handle that specifically. Sticky fields and XHTML aren't a concern for me, because I use templates extensiviely for any non-trivial CGI.

That's interesting about the dynamic loading, I didn't know about that.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
