[Xitami] CGI School

[Scott Tyson]

Too bad it costs 150.00 vs PHP's $0.

So are the any tutorials on how to write a PB executable/DLL that is can
handle a form post and can act like a PHP or perl script that has logic and
barfs out a resulting page?  I've seen sites that are run off a DLL or EXE
with query sting parms so I'm assuming that is what you'd do with PB?
