Handy Address Book Server and CGI have equivalent
functionality, but you may prefer to choose one version over the other based on
the following:
When to use Server version:
No Web Server: If you want to share address books on your local
area network or aren't running a web server, you will want to use the Server
version.
No Perl or CGI Support: If your web server does not have Perl
(version 5.6.1 or later) and CGI installed you will want to use the Server
version.
When to use CGI version:
Non-Windows Server: If your server is not running Windows you
will want the CGI version. For example, Linux and Unix systems will
need the CGI version.
Unable To Run Executable: If you cannot run an executable (.exe)
on your server you will want to use the CGI version. This is rather
common when your web site is hosted on a shared server. With the CGI
version you only need to upload (by FTP for example) the program into your cgi-bin
folder.
Additional Difference:
The Server version includes an
administrative GUI that can be accessed from the server. This
administrative GUI is not available in the CGI version. All
administrative tasks available through this GUI can also be performed through a
web browser in both versions.
