- Perl CGI Programming FAQ
There are times when you might want to have some dynamic information (information that's not constant) in your HTML documents. This could include simple information such as the date and time, or a counter that displays "You are visitor number xxx", but it could also include such things as pie charts/graphs based on user input, results from searching a database, or animations. 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!)
