Resources for CGI Scripts
CGI ("Common Gateway Interface") is a scripting technology for web servers. CGI is supported on most common web server software, although not all web hosts provide access to CGI. The main alternatives to CGI are PHP or ASP scripting.
CGI scripts can be written in many different programming languages, but most CGI scripts are written using the Perl programming language.
Here are some CGI resources and web sites:
- Hits4me.com CGI Resources
Scripts, tutorials, books, guides and more.

JavaScript is the language of the web, used in programming all the major browsers. It is a powerful scripting language that lets web developers produce more powerful, more user-friendly and more interactive web pages, and with the release of the Version 5 browsers its power will become even greater. JavaScript is not just for client-side, however; it's increasingly finding favour as a server side programming language- in Microsoft's ASP technology- and as a programming language for administration tasks with applications such as the Windows Scripting Host. This book covers the broad spectrum of programming JavaScript - from the core language to browser applications and server-side use to stand-alone and embedded JavaScript. It includes a guide to the language - when where and how to get the most out of JavaScript - together with practical case studies demonstrating JavaScript in action. Coverage is bang up-to-date, with discussion of compatability issues and version differences, and the book concludes with a comprehensive reference section. |

mod_perl integrates the complete Perl interpreter with the Apache web server. With mod_perl, programmers can take existing Perl CGI scripts and plug them in, usually without making any source code changes. The scripts will run exactly as before but many times faster. In addition, mod_perl offers a Perl interface to the Apache API, allowing full access to Apache internals, so that programmers can control every aspect of the Apache server. mod_perl Pocket Reference is a concise, conveniently formatted reference to all mod_perl features used in day-to-day mod_perl programming. This small book covers functions as well as configuration directives that help maximize the effectiveness of the mod_perl Apache module. |

From access counters and log-report graphs to scientific plots and on-the-fly animated GIFs, graphics scripting is within the grasp of most Web authors. However, it is a poorly documented field. Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software shows intermediate and advanced Web designers how to use CGI scripts to generate dynamic graphic content and demystifies the manipulation of graphics formats for newcomers to the Web. This book includes:- A tour through the most popular Web graphics file formats by implementing parsers for GIF, JPEG, and PNG files
- Descriptions of the PNG, JPEG, and giflib libraries, as well as many other free and proprietary libraries and SDKs
- Extensive documentation and examples using the Perl graphics modules GD and GIFgraph, and the Perl interface to the powerful ImageMagick libraries
- Documentation on the Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and the Perl interface that allows you to easily script plug-ins or interface to the GIMP via the Web
- The implementation of several new Perl modules for creating formatted PostScript files and animated GIFs on-the-fly
Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software is not a book about design or aesthetics of Web graphics; its focus is on programming, specifically, on scripting programs that manipulate graphics files to be published on the Web. Most examples use Perl, though the concepts are applicable to any programming language. And most of the topics apply to any platform. A handy reference for programmers and designers who want to learn how to create dynamic graphics using CGI scripts. |
