hello all> i wrote asimple cgi scripts that take inputs from user and preview it in the second page by a cgi script so here is the first one that makes the form . 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use strict;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "<html><head><title>Our First HTML Perl form</title></head>";
print "<body>";
print"<form method='post' action='action1.pl'>";

print"name: <input type='text' name='name' size='25'><br>";

print"email: <input type='text' name='email' size='25'><br>";
 
print"<input type='submit' value='Submit'>";

print"</form>";
print"</body></html>";

and th action script is 
 #!/usr/bin/perl
use cgi;

print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html("Action page");
