I'm trying to parse a form with the post method. I have written a
script(formparser.pl) that parses the info and appends it to a flat file.
It then reads the file and outputs the information into two html tables
followed by a third table that is the form you could use to do it again.
On the unix box I have checked the script via (perl -c formparser.pl) and
the syntax is okay. But when I go to the html page with the form and try to
use it, it says that there is a problem. I'm nearly sure the paths are
correct and permissions have all been set.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is a link to the html form
followed by my script (formparser.pl).
