Hi there. If you're trying to send input to a cgi program from the keywboard, you have to send in the values of the parameters that the cgi program is expecting. For example, if you have the line

$somevariable=param('formvariable');

in your code, then you'll have to type the following at the command line to pass values to the 'formvariable' parameter:

% perl myprogram.cgi formvariable=test%20input

Remember that you also have to type in the escape characters. In this case, %20 is the escaped value for a space.

Hope this helps.
