16 <A HREF="CGIscriptor.pl">CGIscriptor</A> merges plain ASCII HTML files
17 on-line and real-time, transparantly and savely with PERL code, shell
18 commands, and executable scripts. It combines the "ease of use" of HTML
19 files with the versatillity of specialized scripts and PERL programs. It
20 hides all the specifics and idiosyncrasies of correct output and CGI coding
21 and naming. Scripts do not have to be aware of HTML or CGI conventions
22 just as HTML files can be ignorant of scripts and the associated values.
23 CGIscriptor complies with the W3C HTML 4.0 recommendations.

27 <A HREF="CGIservlet.pl">CGIservlet</A> is a HTTPd "connector" for running
28 CGI scripts on Unix systems as WWW accessible Web sites. The version found
29 here is configured to run CGIscriptor out of the box. Together, these two
30 scripts make a small and simple, but complete, Web server.<br>
31 The servlet starts a true HTTP daemon but is NOT a full fledged server.
32 Moreover, this servlet is definitely NOT intended as a replacement of a
33 real server (e.g., Apache). It's design goal was SIMPLICITY, and not
34 mileage.
