Hi [surrealistfashion],<p>
Yes you do have some more reading to do :-) Check out the following:<br>
<ul><li>[cpan://CGI] docs, in particular the bit about [http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/CGI.pm#FETCHING_THE_VALUE_OR_VALUES_OF_A_SINGLE_NAMED_PARAMETER:|fetching the value of a single named parameter.]</li>
<li>Also check out the <code>my</code> keyword. (Summary under the readmore tag).</li>
</ul><br>
Although you have the sub name in your URI, and the <code>CGI.pm</code> module has access to it, you have not 'imported' it into your program. <br>Just by declaring it with <code>my</code> doesn't automatically give it the value you woul like. This isn't PHP you know ;-)<br>
Also, I ran the code I posted, it should work fine.<br><br>

<code>
my EXPR
my TYPE EXPR
my EXPR : ATTRS
my TYPE EXPR : ATTRS
A "my" declares the listed variables to be local (lexically) to
the enclosing block, file, or "eval". If more than one value is
listed, the list must be placed in parentheses.
The exact semantics and interface of TYPE and ATTRS are still
evolving. TYPE is currently bound to the use of "fields" pragma,
and attributes are handled using the "attributes" pragma, or
starting from Perl 5.8.0 also via the "Attribute::Handlers"
module. See "Private Variables via my()" in perlsub for details,
and fields, attributes, and Attribute::Handlers.
