Wow! No pressure from above then.... I think the Programming Perl book covers some rudimentary use of the CGI & DBI modules. To create a simple web service, you just need to know how to bolt it all together.
A couple of websites to look at for CGI: http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/columns/cgi1.html http://www.cgi101.com/class/ The DBI module: http://www.zdnet.com.au/builder/webdesign/scripting/story/0,2000040414,20267 210,00.htm http://www.perl.com/pub/a/1999/10/DBI.html Or the ultimate guide to everything: Google. Hope this gets you in the right direction atleast.
