For what value of not working?

Using 5.8.8 CGI.pm 3.15 WebJames 0.47 and RISCOS 3.7 under raFS
No problem here, the following works as expected:
#######################
#!perl -w
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $name=param('name');
print header,start_html('What I got'),h1("I got $name");
print end_html;
#######################
On my setup I have to dial-up the Next slot a bit - try about 5Mb.
Still no joy?
To see if you've a naming mismatch insert this before the last line:
print p('Here is a list of all parameters and their values:');
print "<dl>\n";
if (param()){
foreach my $entry (param){
print "<dt>$entry</dt><dd>"
.param($entry)
."</dd>\n";
}
}
print "</dl>\n";

The latest on CPAN is 3.25 but I doubt there's anything there that would
make any difference to parameter access. When your setup runs out of steam
you'll gain a lot more by switching to a dedicated host than you will by
tweaking modules on RISCOS.
Cheerio,
