| This talk aims to give an overview of the past, present, and future | |
| of the CGI.pm module. | |
| As the new primary maintainer of CGI.pm i would like to explain what | |
| i plan to do with the module, i would also like to bring people up | |
| to speed with recent changes related to CGI.pm - especially the fact | |
| that it will soon no longer be a core module. | |
| I will also point out the state of the module with regards to issues | |
| and highlight that it is still a commonly used module in some perl | |
| development shops; that there are still some perl developers who will | |
| advocate its use and why they shouldn't, with a heavy nod towards | |
| Sawyer's recent "CGI.pm must die" talk. | |
| The "future" will include suggestions for refactoring the module once | |
| existing issues have been addressed. These may include: | |
| + Documentation to dissuade the use of CGI.pm | |
| + Increasing test coverage | |
| + Removal of duplicate functionality | |
| + Replacing pre-re-invented wheels with CPAN equivalents | |
| + Deprecation of HTML generation functions | |
| The talk is planned as a lightning talk. |
