I am writing a lost and found program that runs on a website and calls a PERL program to process the information into a data base.
My problem is that when I click submit the PERL program doesn't run. Before I reloaded my computer it use to run, but I had the wrong code so it didn't do what I wanted.
Now I think I have the right code but it won't run. If I double click the .pl file it runs and creates a .txt file with new lines in it. So I know PERL runs on my computer.
As I said I think I am asking in the wrong forums but I don't know who or what to ask to get the help I need.
Here is the HTML form tag
<form id="found" name="found" action="lost.pl" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
Here is what I have so far for my PERL program code. I am not asking for help on the code for my program, as I am using this project to better learn PERL. I just need to know why it isn't running

($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}
} #end parse_form

open (LOST, ">>lost.txt")or die "Cannot open lost.txt";
foreach $key (keys %FORM){
print LOST "$key $FORM{$key}+";
}
print LOST "\n";
