Description: Stores web form data in a file for later analysis. I am planning on a few improvements ( such as checking form entries for correct input type, etc. ) in the near future. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use CGI; #Import CGI module.
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); 
use strict; #Use the strict pragma.

#Declare variables.
my ( @array,$f_name, $f_reason, $f_email, $f_areacode, $f_exchange,$f_
+pnumber,$f_response,$f_urgent,$f_textarea );

my $q = new CGI;  #Create new object reference for CGI.

$f_name =  $q->param("f_name");  #Assign form vars to variables.
$f_reason = $q->param("f_reason");
$f_email = $q->param("f_email");
$f_areacode = $q->param("f_areacode");

$f_response = $q->param("f_response");

"$f_textarea", "\n");

#Open the file feedback.txt for appending.
open(FH, ">>feedback.txt") or die "Couldn't open file: $!\n";

foreach (@array) #Iterate over the array printing all field in the fil

    or for those of you who like CGI's html generation capabilities, 
    print <<EOF;  #Beginning of 'here' document. Displays message to custo
+mer.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H4>Thank You. You will be contacted by $f_response shortly.</H4>
</BODY>
</HTML>

EOF  #End of 'here' document.

    becomes 
    print 
    $q->header, 
    $q->start_html,
    $q->h4("Thank You. You will be contacted by $f_response shortly.")
+,
    $q->end_html;

    on the whole, this code could use some re-working. it's a good first effort, but read Ovid's Web Programming Using Perl Course. it's brilliant. you'll learn a lot.
