I agree that "better" is not the word used. However, it is expressly explicit
in how Perl should interpret the call. There is something to be said positively
for explicitness.

"Because Perl allows you to use barewords for package names and subroutine
names, it sometimes interprets a bareword's meaning incorrectly."
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj.html#Invoking-Class-Methods

Though, I do share Jonathan's view that CGI->new is sufficient. This explicit
syntax is an example of confusing ugliness that I personally would prefer to
avoid.
