- <h1>Using Perl with MacHTTP</h1>
- In order to use perl scripts with MacHTTP, you need two things, the
- MacPerl application itself, and the MacPerl CGI applet for use with MacHTTP.
- The MacPerl application can be found on the major Mac archives, including:
- <ul>
- <li><a href=ftp://archive.umich.edu/development/languages/macperl4.13.sit.hqx>
- ftp://archive.umich.edu/development/languages/macperl4.13.sit.hqx</a>

- </ul>
- You can find the CGI applet at the following URL:
- <ul>
- <li><a href="ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerlBeta/PCGI.sit.hqx">
- ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerlBeta/PCGI.sit.hqx</a>
- </ul>
-
- To create your own Perl applet, you need to use ResEdit to replace to contents
- of the TEXT resource in the CGI applet with your own Perl source. You should
- examine the existing source first, as it shows how the arguments are passed to
- your script. This applet understands both the "GET" and the "POST" methods.
- <p>
- With the next release of MacPerl, using ResEdit will be unnecessary, as MacPerl
- itself will be able to compile CGI applets as well as regular applets.
- <p>
- For more information on Perl, the best resources are the Unix man pages,
- and the book, <cite>Programming Perl</cite>, by Randal Schwartz, and
- Larry Wall, the author of Perl. Another good source is the
- <a href=http://www.cis.ufl.edu/perl/>Perl WWW Site</a>.

- The Common Gateway Interface</a> on NCSA's server.
