Any1 knows what it is?
when perl -c no syntax errors
when perl -w getting this error:
#Undefined subroutine &main::param called at bonus.pl line 14.
it supposed to come up with:
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

Here is the code form the book:

#!D:/Perl/bin/perl
#bonus.pl - calculates a bonus amount and creates a dynamic Web page
#that contains form data and a bonus amount
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI qw(:sandard -debug);
#prevent Perl from creating undeclared variables
use strict;

#declare variables
my ($name, $sales, $rate, $bonus);

#assign values to variables
$name = param('Salesperson');
$sales = param('Sales');
$rate = param('Rate');

#calculate bonus amount
$bonus = $sales * $rate;

#create Web page
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<HEAD><TITLE>Patton Industries</TITLE><BASEFONT SIZE=5></HEAD>\
+n";
print "<H1>Bonus Calculation</H1>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";
print "Salesperson: $name<br>\n";
print "Your bonus is: $bonus<br>\n";
print "You entered a sales amount of $sales and\n";
print " a bonus rate of $rate <br>\n";

print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";
