This review is from: Developing CGI Applications with Perl (Paperback)

There's a lot of talk in this book but not much code. When it does show code examples, it comes with few comments. I was referred to this book after I read Tom Chritiansen's review that said good words about its use of shared memory. I thought using shm in CGI programming is quite unusual and worth reading. But when I read the section(s), I find too much talk about how to manage a project and little explanation of the C/Perl program that uses shm. This book may be good to managers not for programmers.
