Well written, with an excellent list of resources in the back -- RFCs, books, and more.
Some of the chapters are surprisingly short, and there are some typos, but nothing heart-stopping that I found.
Covers approaches other than Perl, including JavaScript. Explains the interface of CGI.pm quite well, in only a chapter.
Nice section on HTTP status codes you might return from a CGI program.
I was really hoping for a section on native query parsing -- perhaps a nitty-gritty CGI document is needed (which I happen to be writing).
All in all, a nice read. I was waiting all day for that UPS truck. :)
