Hello, you might want to learn about the ins and outs of debugging.

Most of the information can be found in the perl documentation by using perldoc perldebug. If you want to invest a bit more time and effort into debugging you might want to get a copy of Perl Debugged.

Now back to your problem: You might want to print $page between line 61 and 62 and then exit (So that you actually see the result of your CGI).

The only problem that I see with your script, not knowing the input, is that $page might have been set to undef and then used as hash key, which returns also undef and breakes the if-statement.

Btw. The line numbers returned by errors and warnings are more of a semi-intelligent guess-timate of perl. It just gives you a point to start... but it isn't like an X on a treasure map.
