Hi Monks, sorry for my silly question. I need to get data from file, as variables, and send them by using form to cgi program. Unfortunatelly, I can't read them outside loop. I tried to write a subroutine and get them by using return function, but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my $file;
print "<input type=\"file\" name=\"$file\" size=\"40\"> "; 
open (FILE, "$file");
while (<FILE>) {
chomp;
my ($name1, $name2, $address, $phone) = split("\t");
}
close (FILE);
print '<FORM name="form" ACTION="cgi.pl" METHOD="POST">';
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"name1\" value=\"$name1\"> ";
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"name2\" value=\"$name2\"> ";
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address\" value=\"$address\"> ";
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"phone\" value=\"$phone\"> ";
print '<input style="width: 70px; height: 20px "type="submit" value="O
+K" />'
