It's difficult to tell what issues you're having without seeing the code. Please post at least some of the code so that we have a starting point.

That being said, be sure to check out the following:

• http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1830
• http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Tutorials#network
• http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/

Those resources are invaluable and can help you solve a great number of problems on your own.

In addition, be sure to take a look at the CGI.pm documentation. It's really quite good with and includes many examples. You can do this by typing 'perldoc CGI.pm', without the single quotes, at the command prompt.

HTH,
