You saying nobody starting web dev should use CGI.pm? Or CGI in general? Because CGI itself has its uses even today. It's much easier to understand and get off the ground than something like Mojo or Plack (I've used them all), and has its strengths compared to the others.
However, if you are saying no one should use CGI.pm, then I agree. That module is a bloated mess. Much more efficient ways to use CGI without that thing.
