in thread Add timestamp to helpdesk form

The database location $gbdata needs to be a filepath/filename not a URL
my $gbdata="http://www.perl03.georgeself.com/cgi-bin/forms.txt";

Also the folder has to be writeable by the web server and normally cgi-bin folders are not for security reasons. If you are just learning/testing then try using the /tmp folder, same as the semaphone.

my $gbdata = "/tmp/forms.txt";

Your next problem will be here `$type=<GB>; # Assumes that each entry is $prob=<GB>; # exactly 3-lines long... my $time=<GB>;` [download] because using `<textarea name="problem" rows="10 cols="40">` means the problem text may be more than 1 line. poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]
