I'm trying to use variables to insert values from
forms into HTML. When my page prints, instead of
the variables printing out the desired values, they
print nothing, not even a blank space. I'm using
the module TripodCGI.pm, but I could switch to
CGI.pm if someone gave me the code for getting
parameters with it. (Tripod only provides
information on how to use their proprietary
modules, and I'm a newbie.) Here's the code I'm
using, prepared according to Tripod's instructions.
Thanks in advance for your help.

require TripodCGI;
$CGI = TripodCGI;

$firstName=$CGI->param('firstName');
$lastName=$CGI->param('lastName');
$Age=$CGI->param('Age');
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<ENDHTML;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>CGI Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<H2>Welcome!</H2>

<P>We're glad to see you $firtName, members of the
 $lastName family are always welcome here. It's hard to believe that 
you're already $Age years old. My how time 
flies.</P>

</BODY>
</HTML>

ENDHTML

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
