CGI/Perl on the web

I put together this page back in '98, I think, while working on a CGI project. I thought I was the only user, but a few months later I found, to my surprise (well, it was and still is nothing but about a dozen links!), that this page was quite heavily requested and linked to. Its popularity has not decreased since, and occasionally I get e-mails from people telling me that some link was broken or something. Prompted by one such e-mail, I took the trouble to test the links, expel the bad ones, and find substitutes for others. However, I really don't think I am going to ever update it again -- and I'm sure there are already plenty of other places with good information that I don't know about. If no other webpage provides a better portal to the CGI world than this one (which I find very doubtful) I hope someone will step up and undertake maintaining it. At which time, I would appreciate a notice to take this one off-line. [Feb 2nd, 2001]

Original disclaimer: I don't know whether these are the best links or even whether they are useful at all.
