Some nodes to learn about CGI:

• use CGI or die; summarizes much of the Monastery's thoughts on web programming.
• Ovid's Web Programming course (offsite)
• merlyn has several articles on CGI.
• Common Regex Gotchas
• Common Beginner Mistakes
• A Guide to Installing Modules (though CGI has been part of the core since at least 5.005)

Hmmm, this is sounding a bit like another reply of mine which is linkful.

Anyway, CGI does the heavy lifting for you, it's installed, so why not use it. Plus it reduces your security risks.
