module<br><br>Without CGI, web servers simply serve static HTML files.&nbsp;&nbsp;CGI is a set of rules that extend how a&nbsp;&nbsp;web server and client(browser) <i>talk</i> to each other to get the web server to do more than serve static html pages.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are some real security issues involved that you need to pay attention to.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is not as nasty as it sounds.&nbsp;&nbsp;You'll need to know a little HTML to understand the CGI stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would recommend doing a little work 'long hand' and then, fairly quickly, get and use the CGI.pm module listed above. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br> keep the rudder amid ship and beware the odd typo
