I am working on a registration page and there for want it to show the 
user errors it has found with their input.  I have two subroutines in 
my code, the first one prints out the form, also takes an array with 
error descriptions that is passed by the other subroutine.  The other 
subroutine takes the user input and verifies it, any errors that it 
finds it pushes into an array called @errors and passes that back to 
the first subroutine.   The problem is it doesn't work right when I 
run it from the command line this is what I get:

vend...@seserver:~/public_html/AmeriVista> perl -cT register.cgi
