In my opinion there are very few really good books dealing with cgi. Perhaps it is because there is really not a lot to learn!<br />
<br />
This books however does cover other topics including security, server side includes and image maps which a cgi programmer would do well to know about.<br />
<br />
If you are not so worried about cgi itself then the Llama book on perl is the one to go for.<br />

I need advice on a good CGI/PERL book. Do have any recomendations? I have no prior programming expirience. As of now I am looking at the Perl 5 Interactive Course published by the Waite Group Press

Good CGI/PERL Book

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
