the POD (Plain Old Documentation) for CGI.pm contains everything you
need to know.  try a "pod2whatever" program to rip appropriate
documentation out of the module, eg: "pod2html
/wherever/perl/modules/live/CGI.pm > CGI.pm.html".  it has nice examples
of code in there for ya to copy if you need to.  If you are quite
familiar with perl and reading POD, this should be a no-brainer :)

Alternatively, you can have a bit of a look at one of the O'Reilly Perl
books - they should have all the information you need, in amounts
ranging from concise ("Perl in a Nutshell") to lengthy ("Learning
Perl").  These books are generally fairly expensive, the going rate is
$70+.  If you can find it, and have the funds, the perl cd bookshelf is
an EXCELLENT refrence, but at around $300, can hurt the wallet a bit ;)
