Hello, I'm new to perlmonks. So little introduction: I maintain Unix and Citrix application and using perl now for about 4 years. Perl is THE language for me. Problem: when i click on an url, i would like to obtain the value of it (fetch url). I did a lot of searching, and found hints but ..... Goal: create a page which shows the most viewed site on top. I'm reading a csv file, and publish it in a web Snippet: 
sub print_prompt {
   my($query) = @_;
    open( INFILE, "$conf_file" ) or die "$!";
    while (<INFILE>) {
        chomp;
        next if 0 == length($_);                       # Solves "Use o
+f uninitialized value in .......... "
        my @elem = split ",";

        print("$elem[0]\n") if $debug;                #description
        print("$elem[1]\n") if $debug;                #URL
        print("$elem[2]\n") if $debug;                #nr how many tim
+es viewed the URL
        
             
        print "<a href=$elem[1] target=\"_blank\" >$elem[0]</a><br>";
                      
        
    }
close INFILE;
    
}

Question: must it be i a form?
Must I use the "my $query = new CGI;" codes
I thought something whith:

print "This site : $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'}
\n";
print "Previous site : $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
\n";
Thanks in advance,
Perlboer
