[MacPerl] Hey, it really works! (CGI.pm)

[Jerry LeVan <levan@eagle.eku.edu>]

Boy,

Am I ever impressed with Matthias work with Perl!

I downloaded the cgi glue code and a semi-recent CGI.pm. And it
all works out of the box!

I am starting to work through the examples in the CGI.pm documentation,
so far so good.

I am using both MacHTTP and "Quid Pro Quo". The nice thing is that
Quid Pro Quo is freeware. It can be found at <http://www.slaphappy.com>.

The bad news is that testing is a memory hog, currently:
        System Software = 16,106K
        NetScape        = 12,285K
        MacPerl         =  5,353K
        Quid Pro Quo    =  5,844K

(I am running an old version of Speed Doubler which sets the cache at
3 Meg.I am also looping back via freePPP.)

Seems like running a Mac with lots of CGI stuff could quickly run one
out of memory....

Maybe all of the MacPerl users ought to make a contribution to Matthias
so he can get a superduper mac so he can crank out good stuff even faster!
