Ok, I added the commas and the errors nearly disappeared! Thanks so much! But I have another problem though and since I'm really new to using CGI I don't exactly know how to debug things like this myself.

The error I get this time is "Thu Apr 3 07:11:31 2003 tags.pl: syntax error at tags.pl line 39, near ");" ", any suggestions?

It's kinda funny how it's Tr and td, but whatever works :) 

print start_form(), table( 
        Tr(Td( "Email Address: "), Td(textfield('usermail')),
        Tr(Td("Author: "),   Td(textfield('author')),
        Tr(Td("Distributor: "), Td(textfield('distributor')),
        Tr(Td("Copyright: "), Td(textfield('copyright')),
        Tr(Td("Abstract: "), Td(textfield('abstract')),
        Tr(Td("Keywords: "), Td(textarea(-name=>'keywords',
                  -rows=>10,
                  -columns=>50)),
        Tr(Td("Description: "), Td(textarea(-name=>'description',
                  -rows=>10,
                  -columns=>50))),
        Tr(Td("Robots: "), Td(popup_menu(-name=>'robots',
               -values=>['','index','noindex','follow','nofollow']))),
        Tr(Td("Distribution: "), Td(popup_menu(-name=>'distribution',
               -values=>['','local','global']))),
        Tr(Td("Language: "), Td(popup_menu(-name=>'language',
               -values=>['','EN','EN-GB','EN-US','ES','ES-ES','FR','IT
+','JA','KO','DE']))),
        Tr(Td("Rating: "), Td(popup_menu(-name=>'rating',
               -values=>['','kids','general','mature','restricted'])))
+,
        Tr(Td(), Td(submit)),
        end_form(),
        ),
        hr();  #### this is line 39
