I am going to use CGI script to create a HTML document. Execute the script in the command window, redirecting the output to a file and supplying name=value pairs for the parameters after issuing the perl command. The entire paragraph giving the age is underlined. And the color of the payment method only(not the entire paragraph in which it occurs) is blue. I failed to produce name,age and blue color. Please help me to check where is wrong. the following is the code. 
#!C:/Perl/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI::Pretty qw( -debug );
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );

my $q = new CGI;

my $pay = $q->param(payment=>"discover","master","check");
my $pay_text;

if ( $pay eq "discover" )  {
  $pay_text = "Discover Card";
}
elsif ( $pay eq "master" )  {
  $pay_text = "Master Card";
}
elsif ( $pay eq "check" )  {
  $pay_text = "by check";
}
else  {
  $pay_text = "unknown method";
}

print $q->header,

      $q->start_html( -title=>"Welcome",
                      -bgcolor=>"pink"),

      $q->p( "Your name is ", 
             $q->strong("name")),

      $q->p({-style=>"text-decortation:underline"},"Your age is ",$q->
+textfield(-name=>"age")),
                

      $q->p( "Your method of payment is ",
             $q->span({-style=>color=>"blue"},$pay_text)),
      $q->end_html;
