in reply to Really, how do I get input from the keyboard.
Perl CGI scripts are still CGI scripts. As such have a different understanding of <STDIN> (<STDOUT> and <STDERR> too). <STDIN> comes from the browser and not directly from the keyboard like with shell scripts.
Stick with the forms (I will not recommend appending parameters to the URL) or start experiencing the true power of Perl from within a shell.
