Reader Reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Cgi Programming With Perl in a Week (Sams Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
My copy of this book is an earlier edition entitled "Teach Yourself CGI Programming with Perl in 21 Days." This is good book for those who arleady have some basic knowledge of html and perhaps some experience getting perl scripts to run on a web server. I'm not sure if it would be easy enough for a complete beginner in this area. It was very helpful for me in learning about what goes on behind the scenes when scripts run on a web server, how environment variables work, etc. If you want a clearer understanding of how scripts actually work, get this book. If you are just interested in getting the script to work, and maybe tweaking it a little to your purposes, you probably don't need this.
