In the script below, how do I get $text_input to change when the submit button is clicked?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI;

print "content-type: text/html \n\n";

my @family = qw(serif sans-serif cursive fantasy monospace);
my @size = qw(xx-small x-small small medium large x-large xx-large);
my @weight = qw(normal bold 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900);
my @variant = qw(normal small-caps);
my @style = qw(normal italic oblique);

my $cgi = CGI->new();
my $text_input = $cgi->param('text') || "The quick brown fox jumped ov
+er a lazy dog.";

print <<"sec1";
