Two quick ideas, are you using single quotes to assign that variable, such as?
my $line = 'Hello $cgi->param("name"), how are you today?';
If not, I believe you can't use method calls inside a string, and expect it to interpolate, use an temp variable, such as:
my $name = $cgi->param('name');
and then:
my $line = "Hello $name, how are you today?";
If making an temp variable for each param, then a nice hash will do: (Untested)
my %cgiform; for my $key ($cgi->param) { $cgiform{$key} = $cgi->param($key); }
And then you can just use $cgiform{name}.

Update: If you have more than one value with each form input, follow Kanji's suggestion bellow.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
