Thank you for your reply.
Another Perl monk named Corion mantioned I should use CGI and little while ago. I did resist as the learning curb is already pretty big and having to relearn, well....
I now fully understand the advantages of use CGI now, security and a much better use of variables.
Bellow is my new and improved script. I have debugged though the command line and have had a syntax returned ok msg.
How ever running off of the server I am getting 500 errors.
Can anyone tell me the name of modules this script is using?.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; 
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use cgi qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
    $CGI::POST_MAX=1024 * 100;  # max 100K posts

my $query = CGI->new();
my @names = $query->param;

foreach my $name ( @names ) {
    my $value = $query->param( $name );
        }

my $organisers_name=('organisers_name');
my $organisers_address=('organisers_address');
my $organisers_homeN=('organisers_homeN');
my $organisers_mobile=('organisers_mobile');
my $organisers_email=('organisers_email');
my $prefered_contact=('prefered_contact');
my $brides_name=('brides_name');
my $brides_number=('brides_number');
my $wedding_date=('wedding_date');
my $bride_organiser=('bride_organiser');
my $suprise=('suprise');

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.
