Cons (for me):
I usually end up writing any forms the CGI wil generate with a HTML editor
because I don't enjoy farting around with cgi objects - if I want to make
changes to the layout of a page it's a lot quicker to throw together and
check if I do it in a HTML editor, and paste this into the script, or use
it as a template which the CGI parses.

If I want to get at a ALL of the ENV variables I have to hand code the old
fashioned way (ok I'm a control freak)


Pros:
it's transparent, easy to use and it works.
