Well, there's: `perldoc CGI` and other materials provided with the module itself. Wiley's Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm (written by CGI.pm author Lincoln Stein) O'Reilly's CGI Programming with Perl (the so-called Rat book). Lincoln Stein's online materials. Ovid's online CGI course, his local manifesto, and japhy's online course. As well as numerous nodes and examples here. Just look around using Search and Super Search. You'll find many worth looking at. Not to mention many, many others...look around; they're not that hard to find. --f	[reply] [d/l]

Actually, I'd recommend that you dig around on here a little bit or check out merlyn aka Randal's WebTechniques columns. They are full of juicy CGI goodness. -- $you = new YOU; honk() if $you->love(perl)	[reply]

Actually if you are such an HTML purist, like myself, you might find it useful to take a look at HTML::Template . I love using templates, it cleans up the Perl code tremendously and makes edits to the HTML so much easier.	[reply]

Learning Perl (a.k.a. the Llama book), by our own Randal L. Schwartz and Tom Christiansen, has an entire chapter on CGI.pm which I find extremely helpful. It nicely supplements the example-laden documentation which comes with CGI.pm. The Llama book and Lincoln Stein's own copious documentation really ought to be all one would need to get started.
