The CGI module can take input from a HTML form and display the results of your manipulation of that input.
If you have no coding experience there is a little bit of work involved in getting it up and running. Something along the lines of the following should work, you'll have to write some of it yourself, but it's for the benefit of humanity so that will be OK I'm sure ;)
#!/usr/bin/perl -T
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI::Pretty qw/:standard/;
my $result=magicFormula();
print header,
<<END_HTML;
$result
THIS IS WHERE YOUR INITIAL PAGE GOES WITHOUT THE HEAD SECTION
...
END_HTML
sub magicFormula{
my $_value1=param('value1');
my $value=($_value=~/^\d+(?:.\d+)?/); # make sure our input is nume
+ric
# repeat for all values you expect from form in the page above
my $result=...# PERFORM MAGIC ON INPUT VALUES
return "<p> The result of running the magic formula on $value1...$v
+aluen is $result</p>
<p>Re-enter the values below to check another </p>" if $result;
}

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).
