It's worth pointing the questioner in a better direction, and it's also worthwhile explaining the problem he's run into where he is.
Your advice is good, I agree with it, and the OP will do well to look further in the direction of CGI::FormBuilder, as you suggested in the first post.
My take on the OP's question was that he was somewhat new to forms and parameters, was working from the example givin in the CGI module, and was a bit puzzled by the code from that example not working for him. My aim was to help him understand what was going on a little better, in answer to the "I cant figure this thing out." plea at the end of his post.

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).
