What is Perl/CGI?

Perl is a popular programming language for writing CGI scripts. CGI scripts are used to create dynamic Web pages--web pages that are different each time they are displayed. When you submit a form or add your name to a guestbook, you're using CGI.

Perl CGI scripts are not like regular HTML pages and require some server setup steps, usually carried out by a web site's administrator.
