This book offers a comprehensive explanation of the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). Nearly all of the examples in the book are Perl scripts, so you can use most of these examples directly on your server. However, CGI Programming on the World Wide Web assumes that you are using CGI programs on a UNIX platform, so some of the examples will not work with other platforms.
Gundavaram includes three chapters on processing online forms: He begins with processing simple forms, moves to more advanced forms, and then ends with passing information between multiple forms.
