First of all, in addition to CGI.pm and CGI::Simple, there's also CGI-Minimal: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Minimal/ I've successfully used it here: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?mode=random Otherwise, the size in memory depends on somewhat different factors from those of the Ubuntu package size. Best way to determine it is to measure it. Why are you worried about the memory size? Is this http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PrematureOptimization ?
