Hi

I am writing an Install program using CGI.pm and I want to display the current file being processed in a text field or text area.

as in when you press the submit button a textfield is created and this is then updated with the current value this is what I got that dosent work.

Is there a way I can change the value of the Textfield 

if (param('Install'))
{
    $SourcePassword = param('SourcePassword');
       $SourceServer = param('SourceServer');
    $DestPassword = param('DestPassword');
       $DestServer = param('DestServer');
    $RootPath = param('RootPath');
    @InstallOptions = param('InstallOptions');
    @Permissions = param('Permissions');

    print p("Output Log:");
    #print $q->textarea( -name=>'OutputLog', -rows=>10, -cols=>80);
    print $q->textfield( -name=>'OutputLog',-override => true, -value 
+=> 'test' );    param('OutputLog','New Value');
