Hi Edoc,

I tried your suggestion. It appears to me that I need to have two subroutines: one for the get_customer and one for printing the results.

I modified my code and I'm still not having luck. Can you take a look?

Thanks.

my $customer_id;
$customer_id = param("customer_id");

print header(), start_html (-title => "Order Tracking System", -bgcolo
+r => "white");


my $choice = lc (param ("choice"));    

if ($choice eq "submit")            # customer submitted order number
{
    get_customer ();
      print_results ();
}
else
{
    print p (escapeHTML ("Logic error, unknown choice: $choice"));
}

print end_html();

sub get_customer
{
my ($dbh, $customer_id) = @_;

$dbh = WebDB::connect ();
my $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT * FROM Shipments WHERE customer_id = 
+?");
$sth->execute($customer_id);
while (my $track_ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref ()){
push(@customer, $track_ref);
}
return(\@customer);
}

sub print_results
{
my $customer = get_customer($customer_id);
print table ({-border => 0},
   Tr ({-align => "CENTER",  -valign=>"TOP",  -BGCOLOR=>"silver",  -st
+yle=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"},
                                             
                        th ({-width=>"50"},("Customer ID")),
                th ({-width=>"50"},("Carrier")),
                        th ({-width=>"90"},("Tracking Number"))       
+                           
            ));
foreach my $row (@$customer) {
print table ({-border => 0},
    Tr ({-valign=>"center", -style=>"font-family: verdana; font-size: 
+10pt;"},
                               
            td ($row->{customer_id}),
            td ($row->{carrier_id}),
        td ($row->{tracking_number})
                ));
}
print start_form (-action => "http://wwwapps.ups.com/tracking/tracking
+.cgi", -method => "POST"),
       table (
          Tr (
              td ("UPS Tracking Number:"),
              td (textfield (-name => "tracknum"))
        ),
       ),
      submit (-name => "choice", -value => "Track"),
    end_form ();
