Not so much a suggestion as a question arising... Is there any particular reason for using temporary vars as opposed to say
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use HTML::Entities;
my ( $name ) = (param('name') || '') =~ /^([[:alpha:][:punct:][:s
+pace:]]+)$/;
my ( $color ) = (param('color') || '') =~ /^([[:alpha:]]+)$/;
encode_entities( $name );
print header, <<"END_HTML";
<html>
<head><title>Test page</title></head>
<body>
<p>Your name is "$name" and the color you listed was "$color"</p>
</body>
</html>
END_HTML
Cor! Like yer ring! ... HALO dammit! ... 'Ave it yer way! Hal-lo, Mister la-de-da. ... Like yer ring!

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
