I am new to perl and trying to create a script to send information from a form to my email. I am checking my script using the cmd prompt and am getting the error: use of uninitialized value $ENV{"REQUEST_MEHTOD"} in string eq in feedback line 6. Seems like a simple problem, but I am stuck. The first part of my script below:

Thank you! 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

# The following accepts the data from the form and splits it into its 
+component parts

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST') {

    read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
    
    @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
    
    foreach $pair (@pairs) {
        ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
        $value =~ tr/+/ /;
        $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
        $FORM{$name} = $value;
    }



# Then sends the email 

open (MESSAGE,"| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

    print MESSAGE "To: design\@erinhorne.com\n";
    print MESSAGE "From: " . $FORM{name} . ", reader\n";
    print MESSAGE "Reply-to: " . $FORM{email} . "(" . $FORM{name} . ")
+\n";
    
    print MESSAGE "Subject: Feedback from $FORM{name} \n\n";
    
    print MESSAGE "$FORM{name} wrote:\n\n";
    print MESSAGE "Message: $FORM{message}\n\n";
    print MESSAGE "Sent by: $FORM{name} ($FORM{email}).\n";

close (MESSAGE);
}
