Question4U: Does this book cover CGI.pm or does it use a home-cooked brew? So many BAD books out there cook up their own POST parser and what not and end up teaching the beginner (of all people, AT LEAST the beginner should be taught correctly) to cut-n-paste code with blatant security holes. Of all the CGI books I've flipped through at my local B&N, only O'Reilly's CGI book managed to come through. If this book does not cover the aforementioned module, it should be fair to warn other beginners to not waste their time and money on it. </rantmode>

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
