It's worth pointing the questioner in a better direction, and it's also worthwhile explaining the problem he's run into where he is.

Your advice is good, I agree with it, and the OP will do well to look further in the direction of CGI::FormBuilder, as you suggested in the first post.

My take on the OP's question was that he was somewhat new to forms and parameters, was working from the example givin in the CGI module, and was a bit puzzled by the code from that example not working for him. My aim was to help him understand what was going on a little better, in answer to the "I cant figure this thing out." plea at the end of his post.
