Just a comment: I find this book quite informative and helpful though I'm
not a Perl wizard and not a professional programmer (not yet :-). Maybe it
should be stressed that the books mainly deals with "how to _write" cgi
(Perl) scripts, not just "how to _use" them.  One can't learn to write
programs without knowing how to follow the code. And this book isn't 
supposed to be a guide to Perl, there are excellent Perl books ("Learning
Perl" and "Programming Perl", O'Reilly as well).
