[cgiapp] Re lease CGI::Application::Plugin::Header

[Ron Savage]

Hi Ryo

Why on earth do you use a '-' prefix on parameters?

That is user-hostile code, like the '--' required on the command line 
for (some) apps.

Yes, I know that many, many years ago '--' was used to distinguish 
between command line parsers, where the original used '-', but that's a 
red herring these days.
