Who Should Attend:
Web Perl programmers with some experience writing dynamic HTML generators and CGI scripts, as well as an understanding of intermediate Perl constructs such as references and using modules. Some object-oriented programming experience would be helpful, but not necessary.

Perl is useful for much more than just handling CGI scripts, which will be mentioned only in combination with other Web techniques. You'll learn many of the other uses of Perl for Web-related applications by walking through some small but useful Perl programs. Examples include using Perl as a Web client, as a Web server, in combination with CGI strategies, in parsing and generating HTML, as a database interface, and in summoning log files.
