Hello,

Since this is Perl and CGI _ I have quick question about CGI form using Perl CGI module. I understand it is simple to use and can create page.

None of my input is come back when I get to my form redirect page. I'm doing POST to my /cgi-bin/form.pl file from my web page form.

Any help,

Thanks,

Yaz

Hey There,

Just the basics to start - if thi s doesn't help, if you could post your html source and perl code, perhaps we could disect that and find the issue.

Make sure that you're using the CGI module correctly - for instance: to pull params from that you pass from your html page (in the html the form elements "name" would be the param and grabbing that with the CGI module would get you the value that was entered and submitted

use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
foreach $param (sort @params) {
print "param $cgi->param($param)\n";
}


That would be just a basic dump of all the passed parameters - if this comes up with nothing, then the issue may be with the way the parameters are being passed or called.

Hope this helps,
