Perl Programming
CGI vs. HTML
  • Provides methods for creating HTML and processing forms
    • Can make pages containing dynamic information
    • Methods are based on HTML elements
    • Methods will be updated as HTML standard changes
    • Do not need to worry about your HTML becoming out-dated
  • Some familiarity with HTML is helpful, but CGI.pm can be used as a wrapper for all HTML tags

        <!-- Old invalid HTML -->
        <HTML>
	<HEAD>
	<TITLE>A Simple Example</TITLE>
	</HEAD>
	<BODY>
	<H1>A Simple Example</H1>
	<P>
	Hello, World
	</BODY>
	</HTML>
