Adds interactivity and flexibility to the information that can be provided through your Web site. It provides numerous real-life examples of CGI scripts and the source code for downloading from the book's support site. This is another book in Sams series of 'Teach Yourself X in a Week'. It, like the others, assumes some basic computing knowledge and builds on this with the use of numerous examples. The topic in this case is two-fold, both teaching about Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programming, as well as teaching you Perl to achieve this. The reason Perl is chosen as the language for this book is that it is often used in the real world for CGI work, due to its excellent string handling capabilities and compact nature - the typical fodder of CGI programming.
