Any reason for introducing the CGI dependency over simply applying the
same escape rules for the $information variable?  Possibly we could
extract the html_quote from commands/reporting-html-reports.pm and put
it in L::Util (or similar) and share the code from there.

Alternatively, if we are moving to a dependency to solve this issue,
then we should use it consistently (i.e. remove html_quote from
commands/reporting-html-reports.pm).

Thanks,
