CGI intro

It involves the following files:

• ~milvang/public_html/Notes/CGI-intro/cgi_test.html
  An HTML hypertext document with a form, which gathers information from the user, and sends it to a CGI script, in this case the below Perl one. The CGI script is called through cgiwrap.
  You have already visited this HTML hypertext document.

• ~milvang/public_html/cgi-bin/cgi_test.pl
  The Perl script mentioned above. It might not be that elegant to Perl connaisseurs, but it works (or at least I think it does ;-)

• ~milvang/bin/pizza_script
  A C shell script that the Perl script invokes. I could have done it all in Perl, but I wanted to try to spawn an external program, in this case a C shell script.

By the way, there seems to be a small problem somewhere, you can not get multiple toppings, although the form allows you to select more than one.
