Description: CGI Programming in C & Perl shows you how to create interactive, multimedia documents via CGI programming in two practical languages: C, which has distinct performance advantages, and Perl, one of the most popular for CGI today. Applications and source code are presented in both languages in the book and on the CD-ROM. You'll learn how to generate HTML pages and images on the fly, get CGI access on your ISP's site, ensure security for your CGI-activated site, parse form submissions directly, and send e-mail via forms and CGI. The CD-ROM contains a complete range of CGI software libraries in both C and Perl, ready to plug into your Web site: Thomas Boutell's cgic library, a complete CGI implementation in C; the gd dynamic graphics library for GIF generation in C; the popular Mapedit imagemap editing program; several Perl libraries; and all the source code and sample applications from the book.
