Precisely, because you haven't given it a name. Try adding a name attribute to it like: `print input({-type=> "submit",-value=>"Update",-name=>"Foo"})` [download] /J\	[reply] [d/l]

Doesn't look like you're giving it a name. You can't get a CGI parameter's value unless you give it a name. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

Read the articles here first - CGI Tutorials. Then you must show us more code, if you want useful help.	[reply]

Hi, you did neither add any valuable information nor any example code. Using uppercase (often felt as screaming at people) doesn't make it better. Please read How (Not) To Ask A Question. Regards, svenXY	[reply]
