I guess I can still maintain it, but nobody has sent me anything about
it. What would you like me to update? :)
The first hit in Google for "CGI Meta FAQ" is the version I have in
Sourceforge:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/brian-d-foy/CGI_MetaFAQ/CGI_MetaFA

Indeed it should. I'll get to work on it. :)

I've done a bit of an update now. I added a couple of links and culled
the bad ones. Let me know if you want any more updates. This is the
same link that www.perl.org redirects to:
http://www.google.com/search?q=CGI+Meta+FAQ&sourceid=mozilla-search&star
t=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:off
icial
You may not see the updates right away since Sourceforge seems to be a
bit slow in updating things.

That anchor serves no useful purpose, so it probably shouldn't be there.

My newsreader doesn't have a monospaced font (I must fix that) so your
caret appears to point to the dollar singin front of $path. I must
assume though that you were pointing at the beginning of line anchor in
my regex. The reason it is there is to ensure that the match fails in
linear time if there is no slash in the $path.
