If you're using Perl to write the CGIs, make sure to use "use strict"
as well as the -w swotch to enable all warnings. That will point out a
lot of the common mistakes. Also, look for "tainted" and "perl" -
Perl has a pragma that enables checking for tainted data, which is
also very important when dealing with CGIs. It's been a while, so I
don't remember the details too well, sorry.

Cheerio,
