in reply to How to pass html text field value to perl variable

May we assume that your HTML text field is part of a HTML form? If so the form will have an action attribute which will link to an URI, most probably a script on your server which will receive the form's elements. CGI will allow you to get these values easily.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
