Sorry guys. It was my first post and I confess I didn't read the help file.
Let me try to explain the problem:
I have a page that should, by a Perl script, generate another page with a form. In this form, some fields are defined by the data file. So, the data file (pessoais.dat) looks like this: 
aa|Dial up connection|56K|009|ba
ab|Cable Modem|128K|010|bb

[download]

wich stands for: 
key|description|speed|ref|qid

[download]

This form page will then have something like a text input with the description, another with the speed and another that will be Quantity for each product on the data file ($qid). Well, when the user submit the form, it must send all this fields by e-mail (look simple, I know). The problem is: taking from the data file example above, the script only gets the cable modem value for quantity. So, here is the code again - once more sorry by my stupidity before... 
...
$pessoais = "produtos/pessoais.dat";
$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

$search_for   = "a";
$search_field = "all";

&search_database($pessoais,$search_for);
$count = @results;
...

...
foreach $results (@results){
      ($key,$description,$speed,$ref,$qid) = split(/+\|/,$results);
print MAIL "$description $FORM{$qid}\n\n";
}
...

So, what am I doing wrong? I simply can't understand...

Thanks in advance,
