H::T replaces some of the CGI module. The part which emits HTML.
That's the benefit of templating. It isolates the HTML for easier
maintenance. The CGI module would still be used to obtain post
variables, etc.

I use CGI::Simple because it doesn't have all the HTML fluff which the
CGI module has. I've read it's more efficient due to its smaller size.
But, for me it's just principle. I never liked CGI's conflation of CGI
and HTML behavior.
