Re: HTML::Entities not working

I can't reproduce your problem.

length.htm:

<html>
    <body>
        <form method="POST" action="length.cgi">
            <input type="text" name="message" />
            <input type="submit" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

length.cgi:

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings
use HTML::Entities;
use CGI;
my $cgi=new CGI;
my $message=$cgi->param('message');

$message=decode_entities($message);

my $message_fld_length=length($message);

# Obviously, if I call this script as a CGI script, it won't work unle
+ss I send the
# minimal set of HTTP headers!
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

print "$message_fld_length";

Input: output (expected output)
Other language: 14 (14)
 : 1 (1)

What does your HTML look like? What is your input? What output do you expect? What output do you get?
