Your first order of business is to get rid of cgi-lib.pl. It's old, not supported, buggy and insecure.

What you really want to use is Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm -- it comes standard with every distribution of Linux, has an object-oriented interface (although you can use the functional one also), and has all sorts of niceties like simple parameter parsing, multi-part forms, and so on.

CGI.pm really will make your life a lot easier.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
