Perhaps I should clarify my position a bit. I'm not suggesting that the monestary should become a flea market for page counters and form mailers. I am suggesting we teach people how to accomplish common cgi tasks with the assumption that we are writting tutorials for people who have limited experience with perl and limited resources to deal with. For example, I think we should have a tutorial on how to build a cgi guestbook using only the tools available with the standard perl distribution (i.e., cgi.pm, text files; no access to MySQL or another RDBMS). Maybe we should have tutorials that focus on accomplishing these tasks on Win32 since alot of these questions originate from that platform. It's the whole teach a man to fish thing.
