New & Stuck! - Requesting value from form element

Hi everyone,

Thanks to anyone who can help me out. I'm completely new to Perl and I want to do something which I am sure is extremly simple.

All I want to do is read the value of a form element from page 1 into a variable into page 2.

$MyVariable = What the hell goes here!?!?

Thanks to anyone who responds.

Judder.

You must read data submitted by form like this:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>
# Get the form variables

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'GET') {
$buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
}
else {
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
}

# Break em up into a format the script can read

@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$value =~ s/<!--(.|n)*-->//g;
$value =~ s/<([^>]|n)*>//g;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}
[/code]
This reads forms submitted by GET or POST method. If you had text field in form named "email" you will get variable in Perl $FORM{'email'} which contains submitted data, and so on for every form element.

i.e.
print "Email: $FORM{'email'}";

thats great, thanks!
