in reply to Warning Messages

I'd guess it's the fact that $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}, $name{age} and $ENV{QUERY_STRING} are all undefined on those particular lines.

The first and third problems are often caused by testing CGI applications in a non-CGI environment.

Update: And looking at it again, the first also seems to be evidence of you using a home-grown (and potentially buggy) CGI parameter parser rather than the one in CGI.pm.

    Hi Dave, could you clarify what you mean by undefined on that line ? Thanks

      What he means is that if you are running this script locally on your machine, and not through a web server, the environment variables you are trying to use may not be there meaning they are undefined. Try running them through a server and see if you have the same problem.

      I mean that by the time the line is executed, the variable hasn't been given a value.
