Hi.

O.K. I think I see the problem. Can you check for these:
In your HTML form, have you set up the form fields similar to this:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/Path/To/CGI/app.pl ( or .cgi )>
Name:
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="name">
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Click here to send the data!">
</FORM>

Then...in the program that is called by action ( see above ), it should look something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw( :standard );
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

my $name = param( "name" );  #This might be the problem.

if( $name eq "" )
{
  &printform();
}

else
{
  &results();
}


...the remainder of your code...

/msg me if this doesn't solve the problem o.k?
Hope this helps,
