Thank you all for the answers, here you can see the first lines of the
program code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
## Program Name: fetch.cgi
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp (fatalsToBrowser);
use LWP::Simple;
$xx = new CGI;
print $xx->header;
$ker = $xx->param(q);
$url = "http://www.whatever.com/$ker";
if (!defined $page=get $url) { die "There was an error getting URL: $url\n"; }
In the line beginning with $ker, q is coming from the HTML form:
<input type=text name=q>
Something is possibly wrong with this line, if I remove it, the error
message disappears (... and of course, the program does not work...)
