Guess this would be my transition from beginer to learner. lol
Actually have all my scripts so far working now.
Thanks for your input there, but can I ask another question?
On these tutorial scripts we have been given a nice little script for organising the name/value pairs into an associative array, ie

sub  ReadParse {
    local (*in)=@_if @_;
    
    local ($i, $loc, $key, $val);
    
    #Read in text
    if($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}eq"GET"){
        $in = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
    }elsif ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}eq "POST"){
    read(STDIN,$in, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGHT'});
    }
    
    @in = split(/&/.$in);
    
    foreach $i (0..$#in){
    #Convert pluses to spaces
    $in[$i]=~s/\+//g;
    
    #Split in to key and value.
    ($key, $val)= split(/=/,$in[$i],2);#splits in the first=
    
    #Convert%XX from hex numbers to alphanumeric
    $key=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
    $val=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
    
    #Associate key and value
    $in{$key}.="\0"if (defined($in{$key})); #\0 is the mulitple separa
+tor
    $in{$key}.=$val;
    
    }
    
    return 1;#just for fun
}

I just need to now how it fits in between the html forms and the cgi scripts.
Does the html form reference this and inturn this references the cgi programme?
