Did you also take the earlier advice, re `use strict` and (though a wise general practice, not necessarily essential here) re `param()`? You might also wish to close the <html> tag, as required by the spec.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

yes i replaced that cgi::vars statement with this one: `my $step =param(step);` [download] but i removed 'use strict' becoz on viewing on the browser on net, it shows this error on the page : `Bareword "step" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /home/www/xx +xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.org/cgi-bin/local.cgi line 11. Execution of /home/www/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.org/cgi-bin/local.cgi abor +ted due to compilation errors.` [download] Any clue?thanx	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes. `Use strict` is not a penalty; it's a tool to help you find out what you're doing wrong. Your previous code generates similar errors. Read `perldoc perlvar` (and I know there has to be an even better explanation in the documents installed with your perl). Update: See also some of the answers in strict subs and bareword exceptions, non-barewords and use strict and Aristotle's reply in bareword hash keys. Further, though neither recent nor exhaustive, see http://archives.devshed.com/forums/perl-102/how-to-eliminate-the-bareword-error-2285300.html	[reply] [d/l] [select]
