AnnouncementsResourcesAnother Linux hidden gem (ZDNet). Evan Leibovitch looks at the uses of apt-get, it's not just for Debian anymore. "The unavailability of apt-get for RPM was solved recently by an unexpected benefactor, the Brazilian Linux distributor Connectiva. A few months ago, Connectiva shipped its Linux 6.0 release to very positive reviews. To me, the distribution was OK, but one feature stood out. Connectiva had adapted apt-get for use with RPM, giving the company's distribution the combination of the popular RPM file format and apt-get?s powerful features and ease of use." Tips for convenient CGI scripting (IBM developerWorks). CGI.pm, the Perl module used to generate dynamic HTML, is examined in detail in this article from IBM's developerWorks site. "The CGI module itself is a complex, even extreme, application that includes numerous features from Perl. Not surprisingly, some experts claim that if you understand the GGI.pm module, you'll understand Perl! CGI.pm, written by Lincoln Stein, is the module most developers use to build Web applications with Perl. You can retrieve the module from CPAN, and see current documentation at the CGI.pm page."
