CGI Programming and Perl

Overview

What are CGI Scripts?
     If you are completely new to the world of CGI programming, it would be a good idea to take a look at this page and get a feel for what it is that they do.

Where Should I Put CGI Scripts?
     So you have some CGI scripts that you would like to use but don't know where to put them?  No problem, just take a look at this page.

Changing File Permissions & Upload in ASCII
     In order to execute many CGI scripts, you need to change their file permissions.  Take a look at this page for instructions.

Feedback Forms and Similar Forms

FormMail
     FormMail is a program to allow users to email you the contents of text fields of a form.  This program is extremely useful for contact pages.

FishForm
     FishForm is similar to FormMail except that it sends an encrypted message. FishForm should be used for all secure server transactions instead of FormMail.

HTML Page Counters

index.cgi
     This is the counter which can be automatically setup using your Control Panel. This counter displays the number of hits as regular text, so it blends into the page more.

nph-count
     Another way to track the number of visitors to your site. This is a simple hit counter which will display the number of visitors that have accessed a particular page. This is the fastest way to implement a counter and can be used for any web page, not just your index.html

CGIWrap
     CGIWrap is a program that allows scripts to be run by the Web Server so that it has the permissions of the owner of the script.  If you are using a bulletin board or guestbook, it may be a good idea to use CGIWrap.
