Have heard that V2 will have the option of running PERL scripting.
Wow, now that opens up many possibilities for my cgi-bin folder
doesn't it? Can send out via email, verifiable forms or buttons to
press for database entry, to prospects for census data of a product,
service, or whatever, have it return a web page(s), for a thank you,
other informational data that is requested, any and all kinds of good
things. Can literally run web pages using CGI and PERL scripting off
my computer by just sending out email. Possibilities are endless :-)
Really cool stuff.
Will Version 2 have PERL and CGI capabilities? Forms, buttons, web
page creation can be very quickly made up this way.
