WOW... Where to begin!
I guess the first thing I should say is that this is the community mailing
list for the CGI::Application Perl module -- not general Perl/CGI
programming or the far-too-ancient 'cgi-lib.pl'.
The CGI::Application module was devised to augment the CGI.pm module (which
I see you are sort-of using). The CGI.pm module was devised as a
replacement for 'cgi-lib.pl', which desperately needed replacement because
it was so dreadful way back in, like, 1995. (Suffice to say, cgi-lib.pl has
not gotten any better with age.)
I see two possibilities. First, this is an old script that you have been
charged with maintaining. If Perl is not a language in which you are
interested in becoming more expert, or if all you want to do is get this
thing working then I would recommend the USENET Perl news groups. I am told
the people there are very helpful, and can answer your most general
questions.
OTOH, if this is a new script, or if you're interested in learning a better,
faster, easier, and more pain-free method of writing web applications in
Perl, this is the right place for you. You should immediately download and
install CGI::Application from CPAN, and read the Perl docs. Try to get
CGI::Application working and when you get stumped, come back to the mailing
list. We'd be happy to help figure out what problem you're having with
CGI::Application.
Warmest regards,
