in reply to form logins

Howdy, everlast88az,

Without going into the code you posted, my first suggestion is to check your web server settings to make sure that you are posting your code to the proper cgi directory. (This varies from platform to platform.)

Be sure to edit your code to "use strict;" before somebody notices. It is good habit to get into, and one that Perl Monks will bring to your attention every time.

Good luck!

    this reads from a website I do not have direct control over the directory, it doesn't even use cgi. And what good is the strict if I am not using any functions or anything that needs local variables..

      The value of strict.pm for me is that it catches most of my typos. This is true even in short pieces of code which don't need any functions.
