Greetings, and thanks for your reply. That is a fully working piece of code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Net::DNS;
my $dns = new Net::DNS::Resolver;

for my $domain( @ARGV ) {
    my $mx = $dns->query( $domain, 'MX' );

print "content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n";
    print "$domain:\n\n";
    foreach my $rr ($mx->answer) {
        print "<br />", $rr->exchange, ' [<b>', $rr->preference, "</b>
+]\n";
    }
}

Go ahead, stuff it into a cgi script, and put it into a cgi enabled folder. Then enter
http:/yourdomain.tld/path/to/your/script?google.com
In that form, it works just fine.
But that is not my intended final implementation. I had hoped to replace the (@ARGV) with a form input field -- hence the title of this post.
--Chris 
#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use perl::always;
my $perl_version = "5.12.4";
print $perl_version;
