Question: I just ordered a pile of Perl CGI books... as I need to know more than just the basics of using CGI perl module and while RTFM is useful, actually taking it and writing a complex page (yes PAGE not necessarily a whole site ;-) .. blah blah ... you get the idea. Any other books on Perl CGI.pm that would be useful that aren't below?

how is it that with technical books, once you have a whole pile of them, you find that you always need just one more to get the info you want?
