Please review the FAQ. 2

[goBoating]

Hello all,
I have posted a new faq, faq452-653. Please take a look and let me know what you think. It is not as complete or as well annotated as I would like, yet. But, due to the frequency of basic questions, I wanted to get something up to refer the repetative questions to.

Along with improving that FAQ, I plan to write another that will be a 'common mistakes' list and what to do about them. So, in reviewing the current FAQ, please remember that 'common mistakes' will be dealt with later.

Thanks,

Very nice. Nice and complete, consise, and I think that anyone new to CGI/Perl programming would be able to understand it.

If you don't mind me suggesting, here are some things that I would add to a common mistakes FAQ, if you have't thought of them already:

1. Not having the shebang line right.
2. Not printing the mime type.
3. Not being on a CGI capable server.

Just thought that might help.

Good Job!
