I use CGI.pm all the time, but I only use a very minor portion of the module (...) So why should I pull in the whole of CGI.pm, especially when web programming should be as fast as possible?
I use Perl all the time but I only use a very minor portion of the language... you get the idea ;--)
Basically the extra functionality comes for free. Have you looked at the code of CGI.pm? Unless you use a method it is never loaded. It uses tons of clever tricks, its own version of Exporter (saving you 300 lines), and under 700 lines of "real" code, the rest being loaded on demand.
Are there any benchmarks of CGI::Simple against CGI?

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).
