Then you'll probably cotton on pretty smartly. :-)

You're arguing a valid point, but you need to consider the background
for the change -- the staleness of the CGI.pm module in the perl
distribution has caused trouble for lots of people in the past, so this
change does _some_ good.

Just not the good you want. :-)

A near-perfect alternative solution is for someone with LOADS of free
time onhand to commit to keeping the perl modules on HEAD and RELENG_4
well-sync'd with distribution versions.  This is not a part time job, so
in the meantime, this change will make some people happy.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
