After the configuration section of the script comes the following line:
use CGI qw(:standard);
This is where you work the CGI.pm magic. In
effect, what you are doing with this line is adding a whole bunch of
prewritten Perl code to your script. That code arrives in the form of
some new functions that your script now has access to for doing
various CGI-related things. As I mentioned earlier, I’m not
going to explain that process in detail here. In a few minutes,
though, you’ll see how easy this makes it to process the
submitted form elements received by the script.
