Hi mrsym2

From my understanding of your question, you want probably to do something along these lines:
  1. Process input from a form - use CGI
  2. Store the input in some sort of database (flatfile or not) - see DBI or A CSV Module
  3. Use a Template system to display data in "fields" in the advertising page. - See HTML::Template or Template Toolkit
To summarize - using a template module makes it easy for you to seperate code and design - which is good for a lot of reasons, one of which is that it is easy for you to update the design if you have only one template to update.

Once you have those three types of modules licked (CGI, database and templates), you find it much easier to write extendable CGI programs. Good luck in your learning,
