Reader ReviewsIf you are interested in learning perl for web cgi functions this book rocks. Its the only one I have run into that gives examples of code and explains it line by line, in layman! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I could have used a few more examples. The book is toooo short. I warn potental readers that this book does not go into great detail about the perl language itself (which is useful for much more than web CGI) but if you don't care about that and want to dive into making forms and interactive web pages you have to buy this book now!
