I wrote a little about this here.

IMHO, the entire community would benifit if CGI.pm were left behind. Somehow, I've gotten into the habit of putting a use CGI qw(:standard); at the top of every CGI I write, and I really need to get that changed to CGI::Simple or something else. I hardly ever use anything from CGI.pm besides param() (though I really ought to use header(), too), and it seems wasteful to load up that beast of a module just for one subroutine.

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.
