The short answer is, you should use CGI.pm, and you should probably use HTML::Template, but you shouldn't "create a page".

You should store the results in some kind of file, or better, a database, and you should construct the page at the time the user clicks on the link.

So for instance, say this user submission creates a file called "12345.txt" which had the review and the details in it.

Then you'd write a script called showreview.pl and it would be called like "showreview.pl?id=12345". Grab that id number in your script, (you can use CGI.pm to do that) open the file with that name, read the contents, and merge the contents with some HTML that you keep somewhere else (you can use HTML::Template to do that).

Doing it this way you can redesign your site instantly by redesigning the HTML file, which is an important principle -- keeping you data in one place and your formatting in another.

How's that to start you off?

P.S. Tom Cruise has optioned the rights to that movie. See it now before the lame US remake. See also "The Ring", "Vanilla Sky" etc etc.
