Have you examined the HTML that your program in generating? I mean, you say that the only thing that appears is the "Thank you..." statement. Have you done a "View Source" to see what's actually being output to the browser? I'm asking because you're doing a lot of "start_Th" without a corresponding "end_Th", and "start_td" without "end_td". If you're going to use the special start and end tags in CGI.pm (which you declared with a "use CGI qw(*table *Tr *th *td)" right?) you have to make sure you use the closing tags or your HTML will come out all mangly and stuff and your page won't render.

Alternatively instead of doing this:

print $query->start_table({-align=>'center'}),
      $query->start_Tr({bgcolor=>'#9933FF'}),
      $query->start_th({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}), $query->stron
+g('VOLUNTEER'),
      $query->start_th({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}), $query->stron
+g('DATE'),
      $query->start_th({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}), $query->stron
+g('UNDO'),
      $query->end_Tr;
      $query->start_Tr({bgcolor=>'#99FF99'}),
      $query->start_td({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}), $query->stron
+g($name),
      $query->start_td({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}), $query->stron
+g($signup_date),
      $query->start_td({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}),  $query->chec
+kbox(-name=>"remove",-value=>$signup_date),
      $query->end_Tr;
print $query->end_table;

You could do this instead:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw(:standard);

print table({-align=>'center'},
      Tr({bgcolor=>'#9933FF'}, 
         th({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}, 
             [strong('VOLUNTEER'), strong('DATE'), strong('UNDO')]
           )
        ),
      Tr({bgcolor=>'#99FF99'},
          td({-align=>'center', -colspan=>5}, 
              [strong($name), strong($signup_date), 
               checkbox(-name=>"remove",-value=>$signup_date)]
            )
          )
      );

This does exactly the same thing and it's a lot easier to read (and debug!) as well. You also don't have to worry about the closing tags 'cause CGI.pm will take care of them for you.
