The Perl section of this course teaches students how to fully utilize the Perl programming language. Students learn the Perl syntax, the basics of using regular expression, how to use Perl data types, and how to access and manipulate files. Students are also introduced to database connectivity and debugging techniques. A text-processing programming language, Perl is widely used to write CGI scripts and automate server-based tasks such as updating user accounts, posting news and processing subscription requests. The courseware for this topic is part of the Master CIW Web Site Designer and Master CIW Enterprise Developer curriculum.
The CGI Programming section of this course teaches students how to use Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Perl programs and scripts on a Web server. Students will learn how to write print-to-screen scripts, customize Web page hit counters, create and use business forms that interact with text files, manipulate data in a database, work with a relational database via Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), and explore Web server security issues related to CGI files.
This course is suitable for students wanting to follow a career as a Webmaster, software developer, application programmer, client/server developer or desktop publisher. Students must have CIW Foundations certification or equivalent experience and have a good grasp of Web Languages or have a working knowledge of client-side scripting, JavaScript or VBScript.
