Hello, i'm starting now to write CGI and i'm also a perl newbie so...
i made a html form: 
<form>action="http://argo.linux.sys/~nathanvi/cgi-bin/distro.pl" metho
+d="POST">
Quale e' il tuo nome e cognome?<input type="text" name="nome" size="60
+" maxlength="59"> <br>
Come hai conosciuto linux?<textarea name="conosciuto" rows="10" cols="
+40"></textarea><br>
Quale distro usi?<br>
<select name="distro" size="3">
<option value="mdk" label="mandrake">Mandrake</option>
<option value="debian" label="debian">Debian</option>
<option value="slack" label="slackware">Slackware</option>
</select><br>
<input name="Spedisci" value="Invia" type="submit">
</form>

and i wrote a cgi which can write the name of the user... The code is: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my @campi;

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Distribuzione usata</title></head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
@campi = split(/\&/,$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});

print "Il tuo nome e cognome e': $campi[0] <br>";
print "</body>\n";
print "</html>\n";

[download]
When i press the post buttom it doesn't give me an error but it doesn't print the variable $campi[0].
Any suggestions?
