CGI Programming with
Perl (2nd Edition)
by Gunther Birznieks, Scott Guelich, and Shishir Gundavaram
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is one of the most powerful
methods of providing
dynamic content on the Web. CGI is a generic
interface for calling external programs to
crunch numbers, query databases, generate
customized graphics, or perform any other
server-side task. Based on the best-selling CGI
Programming on the World Wide Web, this
edition has been completely rewritten to
demonstrate current techniques available with the
CGI.pm module and the latest versions of Perl.
Topics include incorporating JavaScript for form
validation, controlling browser caching,
making CGI scripts secure in Perl, working with
databases, creating simple search engines,
maintaining state between multiple sessions,
generating graphics dynamically, and improving
performance of CGI scripts.
