Are you sure you can build a program like this? What scripts have you wroten in the past. PHP I assume.

ive written cms's for invisionboard, tons of stuff in php, but now i trying to learn perl, so thats what im writing this in. It should be sort of easy, i have already got most of the signup script done except the ip checking, email verifcation, and im not sure how to pull variables in like php's $HTTP_POST_VARS[''];

if you haven't already worked this out, it's simple

cgi code "test.cgi"


use CGI;

#create a new cgi instance
my $cgi=new CGI;

#get formval
my $formval=$cgi->param('formval');

#output HTTP headers
print $cgi->header;

print "value of formval is".$formval."<br>";

exit;


html code "test.html"


<form action="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" method="post">
<input type="text" name="formval"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>


That's the basics anyway.
