CommandAndCGIScripts seems to say it should work from the shell, but:

It returns without any results if the query method is not POST - which is not applicable to cli scripts.
(In the CGI environment it really ought to throw an error, not just "return")
At completion of rename, it does a CGI redirect, which fails with:
- rename: Use of uninitialized value within @param in lc at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2/CGI/Util.pm line 116.

Also, the referring_topics URL parameter is only documented in CommandAndCGIScripts as "internal use only".
