Why the use of the block to open the file? Why the use of local *FILE here? Why are you making two variables instead of just @foo = <FILE>; $foo[1];? Why not:

print qq[<HTML><frameset cols="100%,290%">
    <frame src="commands.cgi?name=$name" name="commands">
    <frame src="base.cgi?name=$name" name="game">
        </frameset>
      </HTML>];

? Why not exit at the end of error()? Otherwise the script will continue, which would make no sense, and possibly cause other errors.

Cheers,
