This prompted me to post my experimental CGI that demonstrates
several features of the CGI.pm library. Find the code at:
http://plug.unitywave.com/cgi_test
... and you can play with it in operation at:
http://plug.unitywave.com/cgi-bin/cgi_test.pl
This CGI does not open any files or execute any system
commands, but it demonstrates scrubbing of file names
to avoid getting hacked; and scrubbing of its own output
to avoid giving up the system's secrets.
While ordinary CGIs may be eclipsed in the future by
things like PHP, JSP, etc., there is a tremendous body
of Perl CGIs out there cranking away so they are a good
thing to understand.
