Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.10.0-23
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/CGI.pm

We read

       url() returns the script's URL in a variety of formats. Called
       without any arguments, it returns the full form of the URL,
       including host name and port number

           http://your.host.com/path/to/script.cgi

but the port number is missing above.

Also in
     A COMPLETE EXAMPLE OF A SIMPLE FORM-BASED SCRIPT
only some of the available functions are used, e.g., at
               print header;
               print start_html("Example CGI.pm Form");
               print "<h1> Example CGI.pm Form</h1>\n";
But h1() is also available, but the author does not use it.
