It's just a trivial example to show what the languages look like with variables, loop and print.

CGI is not used to deploy web applications anymore, I am aware of that. That's a far leap from saying the module is "broken, bad and wrong".

Another commenter pointed out that there are typo in the example so it doesn't work.
