New to Perl and CGI

But I think this is where I need to be focusing

[Blelisa]

What I am trying to accomplish is simple.
I have a licensing program that needs to be available to my resellers (who are in 8 different countries) to run so they can get the license info for their clients.

The sticking point is I do not want them to be able to download my licensing program. I only want them to be able to run it.

From what I am learning CGI should be able to accomplish this correct?
How do I do this, I know nothing regarding CGI or Perl. Does anyone know of any good tutorials out there for this exact application or can someone send me the instructions?

Thanks

Consider downloading Active Perl and get yourself a book. You can learn perl on your PC, write your code and upload it to your server.

If you have programming experience, you should be able to learn the basics in a few days, but speaking as a Pascal programmer, I found Perl to be very strange. I reckon it took me around three weeks before I decided that Perl is a really clever language rather than just absolutely crazy.

There are other alternatives such as PHP (never looked at it). If you are familiar with Borland products (and Pascal in particular) you might look at Kylix. I believe you can write cgi programs with this, but unless you are running your own server, you may not be able to install them - not sure.

Hope this helps,

Kaled.
