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 am new to the Hugs community. I am drawn to hugs due to perl6's success of bootstrapping from 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.
I am coming from the web development side, so the first thing I am thinking doing is of course, doing some cgi stuff with hugs. It seems that Network.CGI is missing from Hugs Sep 2006 release. I wonder if there is any reason?
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.
