Thanks for the new code Jesse! I suppose this new method is intended to 
allow the use of the more compact CGI::Base or other modules which even 
Lincoln suggests should be used instead of his monolithic module (see Bugs 
in CGI.pm). 

Could Eric or someone provide some examples of how we could take advantage 
of this new method? What modules do you use? The CGI namespace has about 
30 entries. I've been wanting to move my code over to another CGI library 
since I only use a very small subset of the CGI.pm functions but just 
haven't had the time to research all the possible solutions. BTW, I use 
the param, cookie, header (I guess that's what CGI::App calls when I use 
its header_props method) and image upload capabilities of CGI.pm.

Thanks,
William
