Mr. Chis Nandor: 

Do I need to download any software to configure CGI in 
MacPerl.  Here in India I am totally in sea.  Fortunately,  
O'Rielly books are available in India since they are not 
really mac specific.  One can hardly find any Mac books 
in India. 

Things are becoming worse for India with the recent 
devaluation of Indian Rupees.  The foreign publications 
have become very expensive indeed. 

I would check the URL's given by you.  I go through the 
MacPerl list everyday but have not found anything really 
MacPerl-CGI specific.  If someone has anything to say of 
configuring a form in MacPerl for a beginner, I would 
welcome it. 

I would also like to know if perl script can be embedded 
on a Web Page. 

Thanks 

Amit

Almost all the docs specific to Perl that you need come 
with Perl. However, if you wish to buy Perl books, I 
recommend _Learning Perl_ and _Programming Perl_ from 
O'Reilly, and for CGI, I recommend _CGI Programming 
on the World Wide Web_, also from O'Reilly, which has most 
of its examples in Perl. 

See http://www.oreilly.com/ for more information about 
these books.  Also, 
see http://www.perl.com/ for more documentation about 
Perl.  Further, 
http://www.perl.net/ has a bunch of CGI documentation. 

Finally, my upcoming book on MacPerl will have a chapter 
on CGI, but it will not contain information about how to do 
CGI or HTML; it will only contain information about CGI 
programming specific to MacPerl.  It assumes a knowledge 
of HTML and CGI.
