Good Morning Nathan,

	In answer to your second question, the most popular module for
manipulating HTML and writing Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts is
CGI.pm, written by Lincoln D. Stein.  A guide to the module is located at:
http://search.cpan.org/doc/LDS/CGI.pm-2.56/cgi_docs.html.  You can download
the module from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN), which can be
searched via http://search.cpan.org (use the search engine to the left of
the screen to search for modules - the general drill-down that takes up the
main part of the page is incomplete). There is also a fairly comprehensive
book on CGI.pm, written by Dr. Stein.  I'll bring it to the next meeting.

Subject: Phoenix.pm: Newbie Question


Hello Phoenix.pm!  I have a (most likely) simple newbie question for anyone
willing to take the time to explain it.  I am wondering if http
communication is built in to Perl or if a module is required.  Also, any
good resources on using Perl to access the web and manipulate HTML would be
very much appreciated.

Thanks in advnace for your time and help,
Nathan Bell
