In addition to all the excellent commments above, life is much easier prgramming CGI when all your scripts start like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#Any CGI coding needs this line, uncomment when the script stops worki
+ng
#BEGIN { $| = 1; open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT"); print "Content-Type: text/p
+lain\n\n  Text/plain debug header activiated\n"; }

use strict;
use diagnostics;

use CGI;
#use CGI::Debug;

Credit where credit is due, I learned all those tricks off other people.
