hello all .., i want to make a simple cgi script that takes itis parameters from a text field in a form

first i create the form page that is command.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";


print"<html><head><title>User-add Page</title></head>";
print"<body>";
print"<H1>Enter Your userName</H1>";
print"<form method='post' action='webmin.pl'>";
print"name: <input type='text' name='name' size=40>";
print"<br>";
print"<input type='submit' value='Submit'><br>";
print"<br>";
print"<input type='reset' value='Clear'>";
print"<br>";
print"</form>";
print"</body></html>";

second i made the action page (webmin.pl) that the output will be printed in 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
$cgi=new  CGI;

print $cgi->header();

print $cgi->body("<p><center><h1> User add page</p><center></h1>"), $c
+gi$

$input = $cgi->param('name');

$name = system "useradd $input";


print "anew user has been added to you system :$name";

print $cgi->end_html();

i tried to run that every thin was fine and the action page printed .....
but when i checked for the user i cannot find him on my system ! .....
and if i want to add apassword option for this script i can make it with the same way ..... by
adding password option in form and point to it in the action script with the same way
system "passwod $input2" ?
