What the Heck is CGI?

Lessons cover how HTML forms work, using the form data within the program, how to get the program to use the data, using the variables in the program, troubleshooting, writing to files, parsing and interpreting, subroutines, and error checking.

QUE book on CGI Scripts
- The Common Gateway Interface, or CGI, is one of the most useful tools in a Webmaster's kit. Whether you're the lone maintainer of a single home page on someone else's machine or the Webmaster of a huge domain, you'll find that CGI is essential for anything beyond presenting static text and graphics.

O'Reilly Online: Web Client Programming with Perl
- If the Web were just a matter of retrieving documents blindly, then HTTP 0.9 would have been sufficient for all our needs. But as it turns out, there's a whole set of information we'd like to exchange in addition to the documents themselves. A client might ask the server, "What kind of document are you sending?" Or, "I already have an older copy of this document--do I need to bother you for a new one?"

Caching Tutorial
- A Web cache sits between Web servers (or origin servers) and a client or many clients, and watches requests for HTML pages, images and files (collectively known as objects) come by, saving a copy for itself. Then, if there is another request for the same object, it will use the copy that it has, instead of asking the origin server for it again.
