CGI
Programming 101: Programming Perl for the World Wide Web
is a concise presentation of the
key elements of Perl CGI, which makes it perfect for
programmers who are under the gun. If you need to get up to
speed on text strings, for example, you can read that chapter
and be a pro within about 10 minutes .
Form processing is addressed
early on, followed by searching and sorting techniques,
illustrations of how to use server-side includes (SSI), and
other critical issues. There's also a chapter on using MySQL--an
open-source SQL database. In general, if you want to get the
most out of this book, you'll be better off having some
programming experience, be it in BASIC or C++.
The only element missing from
this introductory course is an appendix containing Perl's
reserved characters, operators, and functions; instead, this
material is presented throughout the book. But CGI
Programming 101 is still one of the most efficient ways to
get up to speed with Perl CGI. --Stephen W. Plain
