\_ Hey Everyone-
\_
\_ I have been writing CGIs in C for some time now, but I would like to write
\_ a few scripts I am planning using Perl. Can you tellme what the preferred
\_ CGI modules are for Perl. i was looking at CPAN and there seems to be 5 or
\_ 6 different alternatives and I don't know which one is best.
use strict;
use CGI qw /:standard/;
is a good incantation to use.
If you seem to be doing something obvious (like escaping characters
and other typical HTML stuff) check for a particular module (eg:
URI::Escape). Other modules have carved out niches since CGI is
heavy, but thorough.
Also of interest is
use LWP;
for writing your own happy web clients.
