CGI Chat Code
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone had or knew where to find some code for a CGI based Web Chat system.
I have a basic understanding of Perl but I don't know where to start as far as chat. I'm looking for a place to start and a point of reference.
Thanks,
Acidon

Chatting is a live system and therefore cannot be done in pure HTML+CGI. You need Flash or Java or something similar for that.

re:
That answers one of my questions - I appreciate the response.
I'm looking for the most efficient way to create a large custom chat interface.
A large and consuming project, I know. First priority is to familiarize myself with the language/scripting of choice (I just need to find out what that would be).
Thanks,
Acidon

They are all suited for it. It is really a matter of taste.
Since this is a large programming job you might prefer a Java applet as Flash ActionScript is quite uncomfortable to use (IMO anyway).

this is an open source vb cgi web chat server that
uses standard http to stream realtime chat to the
connected browsers
