In the past, I have used FrontPage to develop web forms and have used Perl to process the input. You have to get behind the scenes, though, and into the code to make sure that your form elements are coded correctly to match what your Perl script is expecting. Check all your form values and your form processing statement to make sure it is pointing correctly to your Perl script and not to some FrontPage construct. Make sure you're not using any FrontPage extensions--unless things have changed those don't work on UNIX. And you'll have to continually fight with FrontPage to keep it from changing your HTML code.
