in thread Perl form user input

$value =~ s/\s+//g; # remove any spaces

This is the line that is removing all whitespace from the values. You could probably comment it out (put a # at the beginning of the line), although that will affect all form values.

As I said, this is a very old style of Perl CGI. I would strongly recommend a security audit and, at least at some point, an overhaul.
