Thanks for showing the cgi package some love. It really needs a new maintainer since I have no time to spend on it. I think Ganesh was looking into that. Any news?
With Ganesh’s approval, I’ve declared myself maintainer of the cgi library. I uploaded two new versions. 3001.1.7.3 just fixes two regressions in 3001.1.7.2: • Don’t use non-standard pattern guards. • Restore compatibility with base-3 using extensible-exceptions. 3001.1.8 extends the API by adding a MonadCatchIO instance as I proposed. (I’m going to hold off on formally deprecating throwCGI, catchCGI, tryCGI for now, pending some thinking about how best to reconcile the cgi API with Dan Knapp’s new direct-fastcgi API.) Anders
