You bet! You could also use the same script to print out your
html form and now the form and the form processor are all in
one place. Just an idea...

Oh yes, it's super easy:
use CGI qw(param header);
# this import's the param and header functions from the CGI
# module which is a core module so you'll have it installed.
my $name = param('name'); # where 'name' was the input tag's name attribute.
print header();
print "Hello <b>$name</b> - How are you today?<br />\n";
You can handle multiple entry checkbox or select input's and other wise
handle your html form input with param().
Check out CGI.pm 's page on CPAN for even more cool stuff you
can do with it.
