Hi, as bakunin points out above CGI programming is language agnostic and I have also used everything from Bash to C to define CGI responses, however Perl is particualrly suited to the task and the good folks over at Perl Monks provide a useful list of tutorials on how to use Perl for CGI (including Ovid's excellent guide to not shooting yourself in the foot Smilie )

However once youve grasped that CGI is essentially a remapping of STDIN and STDOUT and the basics of Perl (or your chosen language) there have been a number of improvements in Web Development made over the last 15 years and plain CGI scripting is probably not the most efficeint way to go learning a module/Framework like Dancer or Catalyst makes for maintainable code.

NAME
MojoMojo::Formatter::CPANHyperlink - automatically hyperlink CPAN modules when using the syntax {{cpan Some::Module}} DESCRIPTION
Normally, to hyperlink to a CPAN module, you'd write: [MojoMojo::Formatter::CPANHyperlink](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?MojoMojo::Formatter::CPANHyperlink) This plugin lets you write just {{cpan MojoMojo::Formatter::CPANHyperlink}} Just like POD, it supports adding a section after the module name: {{cpan Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook/Deployment}} will create a link to http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::Manual::Cookbook#Deployment Sections can contain any characters, except two consecutive closed braces: {{cpan Catalyst::Test/($res, $c) = ctx request( ... ); }} will link to http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::Test#($res,_$c)_=_ctx_request(_..._); In anticipation of future plugin syntax, you can optionally add a trailing slash {{cpan Some::Module/Section /}} METHODS
format_content_order The CPANHyperlink formatter has no special requirements in terms of the order it gets run in, so it has a priority of 10. format_content Calls the formatter. Takes a ref to the content as well as the context object. SEE ALSO
