Re^2: Any idea to let Perl form data and scalar work in same page?

Especially the latter is recommended because CGI.pm is a module is very old and will make development very difficult for you (as you are noticing).

His current issues have very little to do with CGI.pm being old

Well, kinda. The OP's problem is that CGI.pm is exhausting STDIN, and it's impossible to seek back to the start of STDIN. The modern interface for Perl web apps is PSGI (implemented by Plack). The equivalent of reading from STDIN in PSGI is to read from `$env->{"psgi.input"}`. This is a filehandle that is usually seekable (depending on what handler you're using). `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l]
