Try this:

use strict; use CGI::Pretty; my $query = CGI::Pretty->new; print $query->start_form('POST','/cgi-bin/Signup.pl'), $query->radio_group( -name =>'Parent', -values => [ "Father", "Mother" ], -linebreak =>'true', -columnheader =>'Parent' );

After your initial print, you have a comma. Change that to a semicolon or remove the second print statement :)

You were getting a one (1) because you were asking Perl to print the value of the return result of the second print statement. This is almost always true.

$ perl -e 'print "Ovid",print"Ovid"' OvidOvid1
