Hello , I'm making a simple project to practice my perl . The task : I want to extract the text from HTML <form> , and pass the text as an argument to a perl script , not using CGI.pm modul , the web server is Apache . The things I've tried with HTML submit didn't work out . I`ve read about HTML::Form module , but don't know the proper way to use it and didn't quite well understand the syntax. I did't understand the second line : 
 $form = HTML::Form->parse($html, $base_uri);
$form->value(query => "Perl");

I would be grateful if someone explains Thanks
