As little PERL I use right now for true cgi usage, it doesn't matter,
usually, my cgi's just pass off the data to another program and wait
for the HTML code to come back, then passes that back.
But, lately, for other projects I'm working on at home, .cgi's will
become more of a staple, so I will most like be using more modules in
the future.

Some habits are hard to break. My primary language that I use doesn't have
this feature, so for me, I'm used to viewing the other method. I don't think
I've ever had the opportunity for that section of the code to run, but I
imagine, most browsers wouldn't fret. The actual HTML code that is being passed
however, is correct.
