Guys, we all know what he was trying to say, lets not pick on him for how he
phrased it, after all, this is a beginners mailing list!!!
We have defined what CGI is to perl time and time again. Now lets give him a
straight answer without all the attitude.
Is there an alternative to CGI, in a word, no. However i know what your
saying, and as i said in my email. Your alternative are things like
Apache::ASP
Memory, there is no way to get round... You can't expect something from
nothing. Stick more ram in an reap the benefits!
