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

Hi all
I am having problems with radio buttons in my PERL/CGI script. The biggest problem is I've not been able to workout how to call the script from a HTML page. In the mean time I've been running the script from the shell prompt (AIX 4.3.3.0 and PERL 5.005_03). How do I tell the script which buttons I want pushed when I run it from the command line?
./show_library LibraryType=3584 LibrarySource=tsm
Does not work.
This is an extract of the script:
%LibraryChoices = ('3575'=>'Magstar tape library', '3584'=>'LTO tape library'); @LibraryLabels = sort keys %LibraryChoices; %LibrarySources = ('tsm'=>'TSM DB Inquiry', 'tapeutil'=>'AIX Utility Inquiry'); @LibrarySourceLabels = sort keys %LibrarySources; print start_html(-title=>"Tape Library Details"); print radio_group(-name=>'LibraryType', -values=>[@LibraryLabels], -default=>'3584', -labels=>\%LibraryChoices, -columns=>4); print radio_group(-name=>'LibrarySource', -values=>[@LibrarySourceLabels], -default=>'tsm', -labels=>\%LibrarySources, -columns=>4); Process_Columns($LibraryType, $LibrarySource);
Please help
TIA

    Doh! OK, I figured out how to call the CGI script from the web page. Now I'm going to go away and hide in shame...
