+=head1 NAME
+
+public-inbox.cgi - CGI wrapper for PublicInbox::WWW
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+You generally want to run public-inbox-httpd, instead
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+public-inbox.cgi provides a CGI interface wrapper on top of the
+PSGI/Plack L<PublicInbox::WWW> module.  It is only provided for
+compatibility reasons and NOT recommended.
+
+CGI with Perl is slow due to code loading overhead and web servers lack
+the scheduling fairness of L<public-inbox-httpd(1)> for handling git
+clones and streaming large mbox downloads.
