Nice, but CGI.pm would be better

I can personally appreciate the solution this module provides because I've been bitten by the null character issue myself. However, I would prefer to this interface to this be a option flag in CGI.pm rather than a separate project, where less people will discover and deploy it.

Re: Nice, but CGI.pm would be better

I wholeheartedly agree. I'd e-mailed Lincoln Stein regarding the idea quite some time ago (see the 'See Also' note at the bottom of the README for a link to the perl.org newsgroup article that spawned the idea for me) but finally got the bug in me to go ahead and implement at least a partial solution, sans -nopoison pragma in CGI.pm itself. But in the meantime, unless and until he implements it AS a pragma, we have a viable solution. :) Enjoy!
