This seems straight forward enough to me. First off I would point you to CGI and suggest you read the man pages. In there are suggestions for how to deal with cookies and the like. Secondly talk to your system adminsitrator about file permissions and what user id your web server is running as and make sure your CSV file is working correctly.

As far as reading in the CSV file there are more ways to do that than I can possibly enumerate here. The simplest of which would be:

open FIN,"< myfile.csv" or die "could not open mysfile.csv:$!"; while(my $line=<FIN>){ chomp $line; my @fields=split/[\,]/,$line); # do something with it } # etc.

Since you are trying to fill out a form with the data I would suggest you look at LWP::UserAgent and friends.

What have you tried and what has failed and in what manner did it fail? You reference a web page, why?

UPDATE: misunderstood the question(s).
