Title: This book only confused me
Review: Castro's book is so simplified as to be useless. Rather than actually teaching you Perl, she takes you to a critical point and then instructs you to download some code from her website!I'm convinced that all of the glowing 5-star customer reviews are written by her publicist - I don't see how anyone could actually create a successful CGI form that does something useful with this book. Unfortunately, they did convince me to buy it initially.<Don't bother with this book if you care about really learning something. The only interesting part is the section on HTML forms, which you can look up in any good HTML book. Also, it's oftentimes more efficient to combine the form and the script into one document, rather than use a form to send information to a cgi script separately.
Is the review positive or negative?
