• Anchor's Site Submitter -- Freeware

• Apache::SSI -- Module
  A module that does HTML server-side includes under Apache's mod_perl.
• CCS Network CGI Applications -- Commercial (download not available)

Bulletin Board style messaging, File transfers, Quick Messaging, Guestbooks, and more are now available in a Slick, easy to navigate format, with a User Interface visitors not only love, but can be productive using.
• Cdomain -- Freeware
  A CGI script that checks to see if the domain entered by the user is currently registered or available. It reports its results in plain english, instead of spewing the raw whois data at the user. I felt that if a user saw "No Match for XXXX.COM" it could be mis-interpreted as the domain is not available. So this script says "The domain blah.com is available", or "The domain blah.com is registered." and it give the user an option to see the raw whois. It also removes leading and trailing spaces from the domain entered, and checks for illegal characters.
• CGI Made Really Easy (or, Writing CGI scripts to process Web forms)
  This primer focuses on writing CGI scripts to process HTML forms on the Web. It skips some details, but can bring you up to speed fast (literally an hour or less), and covers 90% of real-world situations.
• CGI Programming 101
  This course is intended for anyone who knows HTML, but doesn't know Perl or CGI programming (and maybe doesn't know any programming at all). The goal here is to introduce you to writing Perl CGI scripts, teach you the basics of scriptwriting, and walk you through several common CGI programming applications for the Web.
• CGI Programming FAQ
  
• CGI Tutorial
  A tutorial written by Nik Silver, and is a follow-on from the Perl tutorial derived from the workshop run recently at the School of Computer Studies at the University of Leeds. It does therefore assume a knowledge of Perl, as well as how to create a basic Web page.
• cgi-mailer -- Freeware [ New: 11/26/97 ]
  cgi-mailer is a simple system enabling users to have HTML form input formatted in a user-defined way and sent to an email address, without needing a new CGI program for each new HTML form or any user access to the cgi program. cgi-mailer does not need to reside on the same server as the HTML forms that use it, so you only need to install it once for your entire organisation.
• CGI.pm - a Perl5 CGI Library
  This perl 5 library uses objects to create Web fill-out forms on the fly and to parse their contents. It provides a simple interface for parsing and interpreting query strings passed to CGI scripts. However, it also offers a rich set of functions for creating fill-out forms. Instead of remembering the syntax for HTML form elements, you just make a series of perl function calls. An important fringe benefit of this is that the value of the previous query is used to initialize the form, so that the state of the form is preserved from invocation to invocation.
• CGI::Announce -- Module
  This module maintains an "important announcements" page for your site. It uses standard HTML files and a special place-holder so that new announcements can be programmatically added.
• CGI::Cache -- Module
  This module is intended to be used in a CGI script that may benefit from caching its output. Some CGI scripts may take longer to execute because the data needed in order to construct the page may not be readily available. Such a script may need to query a remote database, or may rely on data that doesn't arrive in a timely fashion, or it may just be computationally intensive. Nonetheless, if you can afford the tradeoff of showing older, cached data vs. CGI execution time, then this module will perform that function.
• CGI::FastTemplate -- Module
  CGI::FastTemplate manages templates and parses templates replacing variable names with values. It was designed for mid to large scale web applications (CGI, mod_perl) where there are great benefits to separating the logic of an application from the specific implementation details.

  • let graphic designers work on templates independantly of the programmers
  • share the responsibility of interface design

This module parses $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT}, and returns various results indicating what browser is *really* hitting your pages.
• CGI::Out -- Module
  A helper routine for CGI programs, CGI::Out buffers STDOUT until your script has completed. If an error occurs, a nice HTML error message will be generated instead of the drab "Server Error", or worse, nothing at all. It'll also send you e-mail when your script barfs.
• CGI::Response -- Module
  A module for constructing responses to CGI requests. There's a "Simple Interface" which handles most common HTTP headers, and a "Full Interface" which handles everything else. Requires CGI::modules, which in turn requires the libwww bundle. Requires the HTTP module set, which is also part of the libwww bundle. CGI::Response also requires the SelfLoader module.

And the only way you can produce results like these is with CGI scripts (though you can also do so with client side applications like Java and JavaScript, but that's a totally different story!)
