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?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
