CGI Programming on the World Wide Web from O'Reilly.  Lincoln Stein's
CGI.pm book.

Yeah: write your own.  Seriously.  Guestbook and counter and formmail and
random image displayers and all the rest are pretty simple programming
tasks.  If you need to, then yes, download Matt's and look at the source
(but don't say I didn't warn you :-).  But I would never use a Matt script
unless I went in and rewrote it first (which I actually did; once, under a
deadline at work, I used Matt's WWWBoard, but hacked it up a lot first,
closing security holes, fixing other bugs, etc.).
