Hi,

I have generated HTML code by the following script, then I copied the html code and saved it in notepad with extendtion .html. Then I opened the html file through IE browser, the page gets loaded correctly, On clicking the button the page redirected to http:\\localhost. I m expecting the statements under if(param()) function to be executed. Kindly let me know the way of execution CGI script

use CGI qw/:standard/;
print
header,
start_html('Simple Script'),
h1('Simple Script'),
start_form,
"What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p,

popup_menu(-name=>'color',-values=>'red','green','blue','chartreuse'),p,
submit,
end_form,
hr,"\n";

if (param) {
print
"Your name is ",em(param('name')),p,
"Your favorite color is ",em(param('color')),".\n";
}
print end_html;

Regards,
Anbarasu
