All right 
my $whatever = encode_entities($whatever, '<>&"');

did the trick! Now, if I put html code into the input field it doesnt mess up anything. Thanx for steering me to the answer. (and fast too) Heartily appreciated. Hugs Are there still any blatant security risks? My script now: 
#!C:\Perl64\site\bin\perl.exe
use warnings;
use HTML::Entities;
use CGI;

my $cgi = CGI->new(); # create new CGI object

{
   ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
   $value =~ tr/+/ /;
   $value =~ s/%(..)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
   $FORM{$name} = $value;
}

my $nick = $cgi->param('nick');
my $pic = $cgi->param('pic');
my $say = $cgi->param('say');
my $likes = $cgi->param('likes');
my $fav = $cgi->param('fav');
my $car = $cgi->param('car');
my $age = $cgi->param('age');
my $town = $cgi->param('town');
my $drink = $cgi->param('drink');
my $wpage = $cgi->param('wpage');

my $nick = encode_entities($nick, '<>&"');
my $pic = encode_entities($pic, '<>&"');
my $say = encode_entities($say, '<>&"');
my $likes = encode_entities($likes, '<>&"');
my $fav = encode_entities($fav, '<>&"');
my $age = encode_entities($age, '<>&"');
my $town = encode_entities($town, '<>&"');
my $drink = encode_entities($say, '<>&"');
my $say = encode_entities($drink, '<>&"');
my $wpage = encode_entities($wpage, '<>&"');

open(my $fh, '>>', 'drivers.html');
print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n";
print $fh "<b>$nick</b><br><img src='$pic' width='250' height='auto' b
+order='2'><br><br>Says <b>$say</b><br>Likes <b>$likes</b><br>Favorite

print "<html><head><meta http-equiv = 'refresh' content = '0; url = dr
