You need to learn some HTML as well as Perl and CGI.pm. One recommended starting point is Ovid's CGI Course. To get you going with code, start your cgi program like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI;
[download]

The -wT flags tuurn on warnings and taint mode. It is a pain in the neck sometimes, but it will save you time and grief. The 'use strict;' line has a similar purpose. The 'use CGI;' is to save you work and avoid pitfalls. It's uses are covered in 'perldoc CGI'.

You can find lots of help by browsing the Tutorials and Outside Links pages here.
