Need Help??

Sarat1729 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, I am new to CGI scripting but need to understand the code in our project. I am unsure what is the starting point and where to start and how it works. Can someone please explain how it works.

CGI Programming 101 is the canonical text. Have a read through and you can ask questions here on the specifics if you need to.	[reply]

Another classic text is Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm by Lincoln Stein, the author of CGI. Please see also Common Gateway Interface for further information and some more helpful links.
