Actually, I thought I had a good grasp of CGI, I admit, I'm not as good as some people with putting a webpage in my perl script, reading ovid the other day did help me a bit. Also,I have programmed in a lot of languages, and Perl is one I always seem to have trouble with. I guess 3 years of doing this was wasted? Plus. I obviously didn't explain my self.

The example I gave for the form, wrong word, webpage, is made from another form, all the data is already sent to it. I use a webpage form to get the data, and perl script to process, the data, and another script to write it. I would love to eliminate the 2nd script, but for some reason, all of these tutorials I have read give me no help what so ever.

All I want to do is to put a send button on the bottom of the webpage, have the user click it, and to write the data and give a confirmation webpage.

I have everything working good, except for the writing. When I use param, the button click wants to repost the data, and it was only sent there from another form. Does any one know a way I cannot lose any data.

Is there any way to get an ok, send, I decided to rename it button to work, so I can just check for a yes. I know it is not the way I should do, but there is NO help I can find in these tutorials. I realy don't want to post, I just want ot know if the user is ok with the data.

I will be happy to send complete html and perl scripts to anyone who wants it.
