So, each CGI program you have starts with:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
That may be a really bad idea. If your program has an
error then the error might print to the browser and reveal
information to someone who shouldn't see it. As a perl
programmer, security is one of the things you should pay
attention to.
I start CGI programs with:
#!/usr/bin/perl -T
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
The CGI.pm module, which is included with the perl
distribution, has some excellent examples. You can also
read Ovid's course on programming with CGI.pm:
