Attributes are a core perl feature.  Nothing more magical than time() or
regexes :)

I see your point, though.  I suppose people migrating from CGI want a
simple URL -> file mapping... but that's not MVC anymore.  (That's
every-file-is-it's-own-application-yay.)

Once you get over the fact that CGI isn't the end-all-and-be-all of web
programming, I think you'll appreciate having a URI dispatcher.  YMMV of
course.
