As long as CGI is still available from CPAN, I don't really mind. But I still think CGI scripts have their place, and I have written a bunch over the last two years at our company. I get that CGI has a number of problems, but for simple tasks I think it's a completely acceptable solution. (Just to be clear, I am talking of CGI as in "web server calling an external program through a defined interface", not the HTML-generating stuff in Perl's CGI module - my scripts use Template::Toolkit for generating HTML.)
