 Okay, but not much there. May 11, 2003
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is an okay book, but there's not much there. If you already know Perl and a little about CGI, there's not much to be had from this book. Learning Perl, Programming Perl and the Perl Cookbook (The O'Reilly one) will complete everything you need to know. This doesn't do much for you.
 No new information, not complete September 19, 2002

This book pales in comparison to Learning Perl and Programming Perl, which are both essential books to read before you can even attempt to understand the examples in CGI Programming.
The essential information contained can easily be discovered on countless internet tutorials, and with more depth. CGI Programming only skims over each topic, never going in to much depth, and the topics that it covers are much too varied and vast.
I own this book but rarely use it. By the time you have read Learning Perl and/or Programming Perl, you will find CGI Programming obsolete.

Anyone who wants to know about CGI programming should buy this book. Even beginning programmers can learn from this book. A must have.
 Well Written and Concise Book May 13, 2002

This book is excellent for any wanna-be CGI programmer with previous knowledge of Perl. It gives step by step lessons that will not only present you with information and ideas, but test you on the knowledge, forcing you to learn it, and learn it well.The three writers are some of the best in their field (I know for a fact), so you can be sure you are getting "lessons" from the best of the best. What makes it even better is that they also can write clearly and well! The only drawback to this book is that you NEED to pick up Perl programming skills before you begin. I have had many people ask me why I recommended them this book without telling them that you need to know some Perl language. To prevent that from happening, I am telling you now. :) O'Reilly's Camel book is a good Perl reference.
Dont know Perl dont buy this book April 6, 2002

I bought this book because i wanted to proccess Credit Cards on my website through CGI Scripting but when i got it i was dissapointed because it requires you to know Perl Language.
It kind of helped me a little but if u are interested in CGI Programming and dont know Pearl do not buy this book but if you do i think it will help you.
