[MacPerl] Getting started with CGI

[Ingo Bitsch <101701.343@compuserve.com>]

Hi,

I am rather new to MacPerl and trying to understand how CGI-Scripting 
works. I understood that you can send your data to the script in a URL 
like this: <http://www.xy.com/cgi/test.pl?search=bla>. But how can I make 
the perl script catch the parameter string? Is there a short answer to 
this question (I don't expect anyone to write a novel)? If not, can 
someone point me to a good description of the mechanism?

One more question: How can I set up a lokal environment on my Mac that 
acts like a Browser-Server-Interaction over the Internet? In other words, 
how can I get my collection of HTML-files and CGI-scripts to work lokally 
(for testing- and other purposes)? 

Thanks!
_Ingo
