We've been through this before, also with CGI::App.

Image fabrication is an American business, political, etc problem, it's
not a programming problem.

I regard CGI::App similar to the way I regard CGI, HTTP, etc.

These are givens in our operating environment. There is no big
hullabaloo about them simply because they work, and keep on working.

I won't go on :-).
