Yes, but these are not CGI issues, they are platform issues.  CGI is a
specification of sorts.  And none of these issues are directly related to
CGI programming.  The idea is this:  make sure you have all your normal
cross-platform issues covered that affect ALL Perl programs (linefeeds,
unimplemented functions, filepaths, etc.) and then the CGI should work
fine.  I think the question was asking about CGI-specific issues, and these
are Perl- and platform-specific issues, not CGI issues.

Semantics, really.  But it help keeps my head straight.
