| CGI Programming Unleashed Building dynamic Web sites often means learning about CGI--the Common Gateway Interface that specifies how server-based programs interact with a Web server. CGI Programming Unleashed shows how to use CGI for a variety of common tasks such as processing forms, polling users, hosting discussions, and implementing "shopping carts." The book's strength is its breadth, not depth--there are plenty of code samples, but they're fairly dense and you'll be left to do much of the interpretation yourself. Novice programmers may find the going tough, but experienced ones who want to learn how to use CGI quickly will be right at home.

| The CGI Book The CGI Book distinguishes itself in its discussion of advanced CGI topics, covering server-side includes (SSI), push systems, form handling, authentication routines, and cookies--both temporary and persistent. The book includes several shopping-cart examples in both Perl and C. (These examples, along with those that appear throughout the book, appear on the accompanying CD-ROM.)

| Perl in a Nutshell strives to be a perfect set of socket tools for the active Perl programmer. By and large, it succeeds, providing endless and well-thought-out lists and tables on the language's modules, flags, and extensions. The authors briefly address basic learner's questions--such as the difference between a hash and an array--but these concepts are not the purpose of the book. (Those new to Perl would be better off with others in the O'Reilly Perl series, such as Learning Perl, while programmers making the switch to Perl can pick up the nuances of the language withProgramming Perl.) This book is pure Perl reference, briefly covering Perl/Tk and Perl for Win 32.
