Ok thanks for your comments.

But I am now very confused I found the below code @
http://www.wiley.com/legacy/compbooks/stein/source.html

Which runs a perl script opening a pop window?
So could you clear up my confusion please?
Can I use CGI.pm or not?
Regards
Gareth 

#!/usr/bin/perl

#file: frames.pl

use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header,
start_html('Popup Window');

if (!param) {
    print h1("Ask your Question"),
    start_form(-target=>'answer'),
    "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),
    p(),
    "What's the combination?",
    checkbox_group(-name=>'words',
           -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
           -defaults=>['eenie','moe']),
    p(),
    "What's your favorite color? ",
    popup_menu(-name=>'color',
           -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),
    p(),
    submit,
    end_form;
} else {
    print h1("And the Answer is..."),
    "Your name is ",em(param(name)),
    p(),
    "The keywords are: ",
    em(join(", ",param('words'))),
    p(),
    "Your favorite color is ",em(param('color'));
}

print end_html;
