Good day...
I have this small cgi form the problem is that the variables won't pass to split.. but when I give a direct value to the variables everything is ok... here is the code *note the unreadable characters are Arabic please ignore them:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use utf8;
use Switch;
use CGI;


$cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header(-charset=>'UTF-8'),
$cgi->start_html
(
-title=>'Mahsoob Script'
),


$cgi->h1('Mahsoob script'),

$cgi->start_form
(
-method=>'post',
-action=>''
), 
"Textbox: ",
$cgi->textfield(-name=>'name',-size=>20), $cgi->br, "\n",
"Textbox: ",
$cgi->textfield(-name=>'mom',-size=>20), $cgi->br, "\n",
"Textbox: ",
$cgi->textarea(-name=>'tarekh',-coloumns=>20,-rows=>5), $cgi->br, "\n"
+,
$cgi->submit(-value=>'submit'), $cgi->br, "\n",
$cgi->end_form;
print "<br>";

$name = $cgi->param('name');
$mom  = $cgi->param('mom');
$tarekh  = $cgi->param('tarekh');

 %freq = (
   --arabic characters and their values
);

 %freq2 = (
   --arabic characters and their values
);

 $namesum = 0;
for (split //, $name) {
    $namesum += $freq{$_};
}

$momsum=0;
for (split //, $mom) {
    $momsum += $freq{$_};
}
$sum=$namesum+$momsum;
print "Sum: $sum\n";
$modulus =$sum%12;


    switch ( $modulus ) 
    {
      --12 different cases , simple print statement   
    }
print $modulus;



$cgi->end_html;
