Re: Web form to alter files is writing to file before submit button is pressed.

If you change the line

line(5,q(<input type="submit" value="Make changes">));
[download]

to:

line(5,q(<input type="submit" name="make_changes" value="Make changes"
+>));
[download]

then you can check if the button was clicked:

if ( $cgi->param("make_changes") ) ...
[download]
