hi again,

i tried adding the line that Chris Nandor suggested below and got the
following error in MacPerl

# Boris:Desktop Folder:test.cgi syntax OK
# Undefined subroutine &main::parse_form_data called.
File 'Boris:Desktop Folder:test.cgi'; Line 6

here is my simple, pedestrian script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl


$ENV{QUERY_STRING} = "field1=yes&field2=no&field3=you%20look%20nice";
$webmaster = "john\@frankenstein.com";
&parse_form_data (*simple_form);

print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n";

$user = $simple_form{'user'};

if ($user) {

print "Nice to meet you ", $simple_form{'user'}, ".", "\n";
print "Please visit this Web server again!", "\n";
} else {
print "You did not enter an name.  Are you shy?", "\n";
print "But , you are welcome to visit this Web server again!", "\n";
}

exit(0);


*****

again, any advice would be great.

thanks

johnny

Well, normally the form information can be retrieved from the environment
variable QUERY_STRING.  So you can manually set that variable at the top of
your script:

$ENV{QUERY_STRING} = "field1=yes&field2=no&field3=you%20look%20nice";

Hopefully, that'll work for ya.
