[ New: 11/08/97 ]
The first end-to-end development guide for CGI programmers. CGI Developer's Resource introduces intermediate-to-advanced level developers to Web CGI programming -- and presents the first end-to-end methodology for CGI implementation. The book begins with a high-level overview on how CGI works, and on the client/server model used by Web-based systems. Next, it delves deeper into CGI, and considers the advantages and disadvantages of working in Tcl, Perl, C, or shell environments. Ivler then introduces CGI scripts, including front ends for database and E-mail systems, and calendars -- along with essential concepts such as counters, randomness, redirection, and active pages. He also covers advanced topics such as environment variables.

Firetop Mountain is a play-by-email game written in Perl. It involves the conflict between powerful wizards in a duel of sorcery. The opponents perform magical gestures with their hands to create their supernatural weapons - spells. Some spells are so potent as to be able to blind a person, call forth terrifying creatures, or even kill the unfortunate victim instantly.

Named for the notion of blending into a crowd, Crowds operates by grouping users into a large and geographically diverse group (crowd) that collectively issues requests on behalf of its members. Web servers are unable to learn the true source of a request because it is equally likely to have originated from any member of the crowd, and indeed collaborating crowd members cannot distinguish the originator of a request from a member who is merely forwarding the request on behalf of another.

XML - Extensible Markup Language
- XML::Generator
[ New: 11/12/98 ]
XML::Generator is an extremely simple module to help in the generation of XML. It has no support for entities currently. Basically, you create an XML::Generator object and then call a method for each tag, supplying the contents of that tag as parameters. You can use a hash ref as the first parameter if the tag should include atributes. The XML is returned as a string. A valid XML document must consist of a single tag at the top level, but this module does nothing to enforce that.
