Amazon.com Review

An important guide for developing dynamic content and forms to add impact and interaction to Web sites. Brenner is the author of cgi-lib.pl, the de facto standard library for creating CGI scripts with Perl. Used for everything from NASA space data to Byte Magazine's on-line comment box, this library makes CGI scripting intuitive and fun.

Product Description

This book teaches readers all they need to know to create custom programs for the World Wide Web. Introduction to CGI/Perl: Getting Started with Web Scripts begins with a complete review of communication technology and then introduces the essentials of the Perl language and the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). It features detailed coverage of all HTML form elements, text processing, management with Perl, receiving input and producing output, and customized client-server interaction with http; including explanations of protocol nuances such as GET and POST. All code and extra examples are available from an online appendix.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction... Not a Tutorial, February 15, 1999
By A Customer
If you are bright, and you want to understand the concept of Perl, this book will get you started. You probably will not come away able to write any programs, although you will gain some tools for doing so. I have not yet found a single book to get people started with Perl, but a combination of this book, "Learning Perl" and "The Perl CGI Cookbook" makes a good beginner library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Intro to Perl!, May 15, 1999
By A Customer
I thought this book was excellent, it was a little short, but still good. My actual rating would be 4.5 stars, this is because once it gets into chapter 3 pretty deep, I lost my self and had to read it over a couple times, and instead of using cgi-lib.pl, I'd rather know how to do it from scratch.

Overall though a great book! c'ya

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what it implies: INTRO to CGI/PERL, August 5, 1997
By A Customer
If your looking for a mammoth manual or encyclopedic guide to CGI and PERL, then you've come to the wrong place. This 150 page primer gets you off and running writing your own Perl scripts in the easiest way. Many examples and exercises aim your learning to integrating your knowledge into hypertext web pages. Receiving user input and producing valid output with CGI, HTML forms elements; all explained in an easy to follow, step by step text. Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to gain a basic understanding of the Perl scripting language
