7.12. Summary
CGI is arguably the simplest way to generate dynamic HTML. There are other ways (mod_perl), which we explore later in the book, that trade the simplicity of this method for speed and flexibility at the price of complexity. CGI is commonly used, so this chapter should help you understand the syntax if you see it in someone else’s web page and help you create simple programs simply.
