in reply to Trouble getting CGI parameters

it doesn't seem to print the information only the variable divider. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If print FILE "$first:$last:$username"; only produces "::" in the file, that means that $first, $last and $username are EMPTY. Why they're empty? It could be because you're mixing CGI.pm function/object interfaces. You should examine your object with Data::Dumper (use Data::Dumper;print Dumper($q);).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
