    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).
