Rob,

I hope you don't take this the wrong way.  While I can appreciate that you're trying 
to help, I
would strongly recommend that people *not* check out http://cgi101.com.  It has many, 
many
problems:

1.  No strict
2.  No warnings
3.  No taint checking (in fact, no security at all)
4.  It has broken form-handling code that's chock full of tasty bugs
5.  Some of the code samples are horribly broken and flat out won't work with some 
browsers

Code samples as they present lead programmers horribly astray and, as many of us have 
seen, it's
can be very difficult to get someone to 'unlearn' bad habits.

Cheers,
Curtis "Ovid" Poe
