[Xitami] FP server extensions

[Gunnar Swan]

I program Visual Basic and Macromedia Shockwave Director. 
I used to use ASP for stuff. 
Now I'm doing more CGI for communication when I want to read the server.
For posting to the server (from Shockwave)  ... I send an email to the server with the data encrypted.
A robot on my mail server unencrypts the email and posts data accordingly.
I like this because I can buffer a lot of heavy traffic on the email server,
and take my time doing the post. Plus I know I can't get hacked.
The robot has permissions into the database, but the email server can't see it.



I don't know a thing about Perl.
Dreamweaver is going to build your front end. I don't know about it's ability to build CGI scripts.

To build forms and corresponding CGI scripts in PERL, I saw this site. Haven't checked it
out ...
