Partially at your direction, I would like to move over to developing 
under mod_perl.  It would be nice to have persistent connections 
(particularly to some analysis packages that have HUGE startup times) 
and speed.  Within the CGI::App framework, HTML generation is pretty 
simple using graphical tools with fine-level changes made using 
template tools and HTML::Fillinform.  In short, I see less and less 
need for CGI for much of what I am doing.  I can't say I will divorce 
myself from it (who in his/her right mind would say such a thing!) 
entirely, but....
