in reply to Trouble getting a Perl script to run with an HTML form

"I can't seem to get the Perl script to run off the server."

<form action="/cgi-bin/hw4.pl" method="POST">

If you want to run it off of the server, maybe you should put the full URL in there. Like "http://myserver.net/cgi-bin/hw4.pl method="POST"

Or use http://localhost/cgi-bin/hw4.pl if you are testing on a local machine.

    thanks for your attempt, but I know where to reference things. I'm fine with HTML. Also, if you noticed, I updated last night to say that I fixed it all with the help I had.
