    They are not being sent from your html page probably. You can assign defaults like this;

    my $name   = $q->param('name')   || 'noname';
my $day    = $q->param('day')    || 'noday';
my $number = $q->param('number') || 'nonumber';

    The elements after the print line should be comma separated and you shouldn't be printing after the end_html

    print $q->header,
$q->start_html( -title => "Add user", -bgcolor => "#ffffff"),
$q->p("Data submitted"),
$q->tt("$name<br/>$day<br/>$number"),
$q->end_html;

    And you may wish to add this while developing to see any errors in the browser.

    use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
