As a shorter term solution, would about having a function like:

test_for_CGI_compatibility()

In it, do something basic with 'param' and 'cookie'. Then,
just eval the executation of this test to see if it dies, or returns a
reasonable result. 

Other modules that need to test for CGI.pm-ness would find this useful
as well. (Data::FormValidator is one).
