If you're basing your opinion about "CGI Programming with Perl" (the 2nd edition of the Mouse book) on your experience with "CGI Programming on the World Wide Web" (the 1st edition of the mouse book), you're doing the 2nd edition a disservice. The 2nd is a pretty good book. It discusses templating systems, database interaction, web security, the CGI.pm module, and many other current-day topics. The 1st edition (which had a slightly different title, but still had a mouse on the cover) is indeed outdated, and not all that helpful in the year 2004. But I completely disagree with ruling out the 2nd edition; it's a totally different book.
