Server Programs
- Provide a service
- Often run on a different (remote) host than that of the client
- Usually not invoked directly by users;
rather, called by some other program (the client)
Examples
- Name server (DNS)
- Openmail
- Print Server
- Web Server (httpd)
- CGI programs
Perl is often used to write server programs,
especially CGI programs.
