My first exposure to Perl was when I wanted a guestbook for my website and ended up at MSA. I wanted to customise it a bit so I had to try and understand all that line noise....

I got the book CGI programming in C & Perl by Thomas Boutell out my uni library and soon realized there way a MUCH better way to do it. No more parsing form requests by hand!

For some reason everytime I searched Google for a Perl problem this site came up. After a few visits I decided to join

Now before I get massively down-voted for mentioning MSA, the script was soon dumped and I wrote my own one using CGI, CGI::Application and HTML::Template :).
