[MacPerl-WebCGI] re:Ideas for web-cgi FAQ



We probably need to beef up (create?) a MacPerl-WebCGI FAQ. ANy volunteers
with ideas for the initial draft?

As a newcomer to writing perl cgi's I needed to know the following:
 

How do I write perl scripts
How do I test my cgi scripts
How do I send mail from perl
How do I test my perl cgi's that involve sending mail
How do I put my cgi scripts on an ISP's server, and then use them in my web pages
What good books are there for learning perl from scratch
What different servers can I use to test perl cgis
How do I write perl scripts on the mac for use on other platforms

For the low-budget, new perl programmer,
What essential topics should I research on the www
Which websites are the essential resources
What www downloadable files do I need to get me going
What www sites can I read to master the essential files?
Which discussion groups should I subscribe to to get me going on perl

These would have been really helpful to me, to give me the broader picture of how cgi's are designed, implemented and tested. My budget allowed for the purchase of 3 books only.
