Is it OK to be using CGI.pm with Maypole if you're
using
the mod_perl instead of the CGI version?

And is there a way to do this for EVERYTHING, not just
for
username/password pairs? Using the built in
Class::DBI::FromCGI, any thing you do that makes
errors
in the form, will just send you back to a fresh
version
of the form, not the one with the things you just
typed.
