I recommend using CGI.pm, and I think most people on this site will agree. A typical response page would look like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
use strict;
my $cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->header;
if ($cgi->param("name") ne "") { print "Welcome " . $cgi->param("name"
+) }
The HTML form to invoke this would be:
<form method=post action=yourscript.pl>
<input type=text name=name>
<input type=submit name=submit>
</form>
Hope that clears it up a bit for you

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).
