CGI_Lite is from Shishir Gundavaram.  He wrote "CGI Programming on 
the World Wide Web" published by OrA.

It has a very neat feature for those of us coming from cgi-lib.cgi 
practice:

%data = $cgi->parse_form_data();

or of course you could use %in.

Where can I do that so easily with CGI.pm I don't know.  But I use 
CGI.pm nonetheless.
