Ohh I just found the problem. Due to the system I am developing on I am being required to use the PHP interface/frame work system. So in the PHP I do this:
<?
$script = "/cgi-bin/hr-bin/index.cgi";

$QSTRING = $QUERY_STRING;

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
    while (list ($header, $value) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { 
        $QSTRING = $QSTRING.'&'.$header.'='.$value; 
    }
}

virtual($script.'?'.$QSTRING);
?>

Now if my input from a textarea is this (including the quotes) "I am bob; I eat babies" it passes this to the perl script:

\"I am bob

So that is my problem... Can anyone help me??
