[Hugs-users] Network.CGI missing in Hugs

I think what you are probably thinking of is GHC, which is what Pugs
is written using. Pugs cannot be run under Hugs, it uses some GHC
extensions. However, if you are just going to do "normal" haskell
development, learning the language etc, Hugs is a fine choice to get
started with.

Windows/Linux? If Windows did you pick WinHugs or MinHugs? My copy of
WinHugs has it installed, not sure what other options/packages have it
though.

Thanks
