this is the *one* thing that never made it into the perl 4
distribution that probably should have, if only because so many things
depend on it. i can't imagine a package...it's pretty dead. the
package would consist of simply "where do i get the file" and then
"where do i put it".
i've stuffed a copy of what i've got by that name at
ftp://ftp.daemon.org/cgi-lib.pl
for your amusement. fwiw, i've basically dropped it myself, and
maintain my own routines that do pretty much the same thing but with a
different api. it was nice, but i got tired of it.
