in reply to All attempts to match data from input fail. Please help.

Greetings, Monks.

I guess I just needed to ask here to get the answer! Shortly after posting this message. It came to me. I needed to make a small adjustment to the use CGI; line 

# original version
use CGI;

[download]
to 
# new version
use CGI qw/:standard/;

[download]
and problem solved!

As always, best wishes.

    Very glad you found the solution; congratulations.

    For more info on how that works, search this site for 'teddy bear'.

    Also note that simply using your local text editor to write out the question (complete with code example and PM-approved tags) will often produce the 'teddy bear effect,' without any need to actually post it.

    That course will excuse you from having to apologize in advance: (" I seem to get real close. But for some reason, I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, I think. This is probably (should be) simple.")

    If I've misconstrued your question or the logic needed to answer it, I offer my apologies to all those electrons which were inconvenienced by the creation of this post.

      Sorry, ww.

      It was such a stupid simple problem. I felt the need to apologize, in advance.

      But next time.. forget it! No excuses, no apologies. Got it? :)

      UPDATE If you'd like to learn more. I left a note at the bottom of my personal page, that pretty well sums it up. taint :)
