Hallo Thomas,

I do that for a living at the moment! Check out my page at:
www.opensystems.org
for links to docs, sample scripts, modules, etc.

The Man, in this instance is Lincoln Stein, PhD, - he wrote CGI.pm
and has a good book: Official Guide To Programming the CGI.pm

Do a search on Yahoo or whatever: CGI.pm
Click on Lincoln Stein's page to find the ISBN for the book.
About $28 (perhaps less from Amazon).
My page has his scripts... ;-)

If you want to see some of my code (more involved than the rudimentary
samples) send some mail to hackers(at)admin(dot)nrnet(dot)org
Also, have a look at: www.simtax.ca/acc - this is SQL Ledger, an
Open Source accounting package. Dieter Simader is the author and
a nice guy as well.

Cheers,
Tom
