Text Editors
Probably the first question most beginners ask is this --
how do I edit a CGI script?
Since perl or PHP is just plain text, you should edit the
files with a text editor. A text editor is a simple program
used for typing and editing. The most basic text editors are
Notepad (PC) and Simple Text (Mac). Microsoft Word and similar
programs are not text editors. Notepad and/or Simple Text
will serve your purposes just fine, but there are other, fancier
text editors available as well. These programs have features
such as automatically formatting your perl files and showing
line numbers to aid in debugging.
