-As you can see, there are quite a few to choose from. Some are simple, and some are complex and quite amazingly powerful. I find [[pico_cheat_sheet|pico]] convenient and easy to use. Many on SDF like [[wp>GNU_nano#Control_keys|nano]]. And for those who are willing to learn them there are much more powerful editors like "vi", "vim" and "emacs" which offer an unmatched degree of customization. What is important is to choose an editor that you are comfortable working with, as you will be spending considerable time using it.\\  Some folks, myself included, may find it easier to do their editing in their desktop environment. If you are an ARPA lifetime member (one-time fee of $36), this presents no obstacle as ftp (and sftp) is available for transfering your finished work to your html folder on SDF.

     * if you want to try bash CGI, [[http://bashlib.sourceforge.net/ |bashlib]] is an old tool that may help
   * [[https://metacpan.org/dist/CGI/view/lib/CGI.pod#CGI.pm-HAS-BEEN-REMOVED-FROM-THE-PERL-CORE| Don't use the old CGI.pm  for perl CGI anymore]] - At ARPA level, you can write CGI scripts in perl, but you shouldn't use old perl CGI package recipes to do so, because like bash CGI, it's not very safe. Instead, use one of the following modern replacements:
-    * Use CGI::Tiny, a non-framework modern replacement for standalone perl CGI: [[https://metacpan.org/pod/CGI::Alternatives#BUT-I-DON'T-WANT-TO-USE-A-FRAMEWORK | Perl CGI But I Don't Want to Use a Framework]]. You can easily install in your user perl library, and it works great! Mojo Templates are installed on both the SDF cluster and on the metaarray, and CGI::Tiny works with that to prevent XSS, plus other template engines which the docs have examples for.

     * Use Mojolicious, or [[https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Lite| Mojolicious Lite]]. Another framework that is meant to work with its own webserver, but can work for standalone CGI as well. There may be some version issues in the cluster.
