Nihil Angst has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm trying to use variables to insert values from
forms into HTML. When my page prints, instead of
the variables printing out the desired values, they
print nothing, not even a blank space. I'm using
the module TripodCGI.pm, but I could switch to
CGI.pm if someone gave me the code for getting
parameters with it. (Tripod only provides
information on how to use their proprietary
modules, and I'm a newbie.) Here's the code I'm
using, prepared according to Tripod's instructions.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's hard to believe that you're already $Age years old. My how time flies.</P> </BODY> </HTML> ENDHTML
