Let me second that.  I happen to write a lot of CGI, and ISTM that
while you can do it without logging, you are condemming yourself to a
lot of staring at the screen, head-scratching, and saying ``Now what
could *that* mean?''  That is, CGI programming without logging seems to
me to ba a lot like general programming in Perl.  :-}
