Sam Tregar · Apress eBooks · 2002
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programming is probably the most common use for the Perl language. CGI provides the interactivity in nearly every popular site on the Web today. Although CGI is an old technology by Internet standards, what it lacks in sex appeal it more than makes up for in utility and portability. Unlike the many CGI-replacement technologies available, it is supported on virtually every platform and Web server. If you can use Perl on your platform of choice, the chances are excellent that you can use CGI too.
