Most revered brother monks,

I'm trying to create a multiple fields based on user input under CGI.pm. My question are: I'm stuck with my script below: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use Data::Dumper;        

use CGI qw/:standard :html3/; 
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );

my $nbr_of_fields = 15; # This is taken as user input

print start_form(),br;


for (0..$nbr_of_fields-1) {

  # This doesn't print
  print textfield(-name=>'field_name',
                    -value=>'starting value',
                    -size=>50,
                    -maxlength=>80);

} 



print submit( -name=>'action', -value => 'Submit' ),
        end_form;

# And how can I later capture the values?
