A little more information would be handy here; Are you just going to be passing snippets of html or whole html documents? this could be really simple such as `#!/usr/bin/perl #Forgive me please ppl i am not a cgi guru just using this to illustra +te a point GetFormInput(); my $html = $field{html); print "$html";` [download] if you are passing a whole html document with complete headers and stuff. If it is just going to be snippets of html you had better brush up on CGI.PM (this is a link to Ovid's Tutorial).

Do your own homework. Do you think you could have made even the slightest effort before posting such a request here? If you had said "This is my problem, can anyone point me in the right direction?" or "I have this code but I can't figure out why it isn't working" you would more than likely get more than a few helpful responses, but if you expect people to do your work without you making so much as an effort, you're whacked in my opinion. Update To clarify what I meant by "homework", any effort to figure out the problem or even contemplate an approach to solving it.
