A perfectly reasonable request.

As I've hinted, with great restraint, in:

https://metacpan.org/module/CGI::Snapp#Why-did-you-fork-CGI::Application-

I been struggling with Mark Stosberg for years about timely releases of 
patches (mostly to CGI::Session). I have written a great deal of code 
and docs, some of which he withheld from release for more than a year.

I eventually decided for re-write this code so as to free myself from 
that constraint. In other words, I wished to guarantee current and 
future support - by doing it myself - for my current and future projects.

That does not mean I have to use CGI::Snapp for everything. In fact, I'm 
very tempted to start learning Mojo, but I wanted a safe and reliable 
alternative to be in place before I adopted something new, since the 
latter course would necessarily involve a learning curve.

The other factor you - and everyone - should take into account is that 
CGI::App etc appear to be longer supported, in that bug fixing has stopped.

CGI::Snapp etc bugs (if any!) will be of great concern to me and will be 
fixed ASAP.

For such software technology, it's actually nice to have a choice.

Choose wisely!
