Hi surrealistfashion,
Yes you do have some more reading to do :-) Check out the following:
Although you have the sub name in your URI, and the CGI.pm module has access to it, you have not 'imported' it into your program. Just by declaring it with my doesn't automatically give it the value you woul like. This isn't PHP you know ;-)
Also, I ran the code I posted, it should work fine.
Smitz
my EXPR
my TYPE EXPR
my EXPR : ATTRS
my TYPE EXPR : ATTRS
A "my" declares the listed variables to be local (lexically) t
+o
the enclosing block, file, or "eval". If more than one value i
+s
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" pragm
+a,
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 detail
+s,
and fields, attributes, and Attribute::Handlers.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
