wageslave has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I've been working on making a web site with some pictures I got digitized, I made my self a perl proggy that would go thru all the subdirectories of my photo directory and make thumbnails, then I made a one that would generate all the html I would need, to link all the pics to index.html, know I'm trying to make a perl proggy that basically displays all the pics using html, and has some forms so I can fill out some data about the pics such as what the pic is, where, whether or not it good or bad ... and then save the data to some files. at the moment the main problem I have is how do I get data back from the browser to my perl script. any info would be appreciated

      what part would you like to see, what I did was make seperate perl programs one to genrate thumbnails one to create the html another one to move all my pics from cd to hard drive, now I want to start on one that I can add text for each picture using html like this 
      picture here
<form action="some script name.pl">
<input type="text" length="50" name="where"><br>
<input type="submit" value="where">
</form>

      so once you hit the button it calls the script but how do I pass the text back to the script ?

        You want to check out the CGI module. 

        use CGI;

my $cgi = new CGI;

my $where = $cgi->param('where');
print $where . "\n";
