Hello good monks! once again I come to seek your guidance, in another words I am stuck and cant find the solution. I am trying to learn CGI because we are going to use it for a new project that involves Perl and Mysql. so to try it on my first program I made a small perl prgram that does a SELECT * FROM table WHERE last = something
here is the HTML code:

<H1>Test Page<H1>

<FORM ACTION="AG_Demo.pl" METHOD="GET">
Last Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="LastName" ID="LastName"> <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Searh Database">
<INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Clear Form">
</FORM>
[download]

So I open it on firefox and it works , but when put a last name and click submit it it gives me a new window trying to save it to my disk again!!! what do I need to do to make the .pl program works in my firefox? thank you
