in thread The Case for Learning Perl

CGI applications are excellent introductory projects.

I think you took my statement a little out of context. I didn't mean CGI *couldn't* be used as introductory material --- I meant that often people who are trying to learn Perl as their first language are doing so with CGI applications that are less than introductory in nature and *without* any real instruction in programming in general.
