  I just finished Introduction to CGI/PERL{a good book but low on the PERL
content} at the cottage this summer,  like I say since Basic on the old VIC
20 I haven't been writing much *code*(oh that's what we call it now eh?).
I think my old application of a morse code translator would work well to
someones CGI script.  You know you could talk to the web page in morse or
take a lesson.  I'll have to suggest it to someone in International
Communications:)
