I can build on this once I have the structure, but how do I use CGI to take ...say, two inputs via form on a page, have it output to a page, then allow a page where people can put them in some sort of order (ascii for simplicity).

An example would be "Give me your [name] and favorite [color]." Once done it would have a page showing the name and color, along with anyone else that filled out the form. Then there would be an option to sort by the person's name or the color.

I've checked the tutorial pages, no luck. I'd also just consult my Perl Black Book but I seem to have left that at home in favor of DNS & Bind. Wah. I apologize if this seems like I'm asking y'all to just do the work for me, that's not the case.

Merci,
nascent
