[Hugs-users] Network.CGI missing in Hugs

Neil,
My interest is learning Haskell. Not much to do with Pugs at this point.

My OS is redhat linux. There is no binary build for it. So I pulled the
linux source release.
Did a "make" with prefix $HOME/hugs. Then "make install". Runhugs is
under $HOME/hugs/bin. 

I also installed WinHugs. I checked under packages/network/Network.
There are only BSD.hs, Socket.hs, URI.hs, but no CGI.hs? In fact,
keyword search CGI on *.hs under packages/ yields nothing on both linux
and Windows.

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

Neil
