Hi, I have a html page where user enters a parameter.

------

html page...

<input type=text name=username>

--------

a CGI script which retreives the username

ie)

---------------

$op=new CGI;
$username=$op->param('username');

[download]

--------

and then connects to another server using Net::SSH::Perl

run a command in remote server using the parameter i recived via the html page.

When i test the script from the command line without the cgi part.. just by passing the parameter through command line it works...

could someone shed some light on this ...

Thank you
