Hi everyone.
I haven't seen much traffic on this list in awhile, so maybe I'll stir
things up a little.
I'm trying to learn CGI programming. I've written and run some extremely
basic CGI scripts, but it's obvious that I'm going to need some outside
help to get much further. Can anyone suggest a good introduction to CGI
programming? Can anyone explain to me how CGI programming is usually done
in Perl (what helper functions/classes are used)?
And here's a very specific question: I've noticed that Apache included the
following variable:
UNIQUE_ID=tPxaBwoAAFoAAHpvDoUAAAAD
To state the obvious, it's some sort of unique ID. It seems to change every
time the script is invoked. How unique is it? Is it guaranteed to be unique
for this machine for, say, a decade?
