Book Description

You’ll need a few things before you can start writing CGI programs. You’ll need a web server, for one. Chances are good that your current web host or ISP already supports CGI programs, but if you aren’t sure, ask them. This book is geared towards Unix, but you can easily set up Apache and Perl on Mac and Windows.
