First you're using $pass_bob and then $bob_pass. Make sure you're using strict to avoid that. It forces you to declare your variables, so in case you misspell them accidentally, it'll yell at you.

Update: Also, I just noticed: You need to make sure that you're importing the param() method from the CGI module. *Generally*, this is done as follows:

use CGI qw(:standard);

Though I suppose you already do that somehow since Perl doesn't complain about the param() call. You probably should rethink your design an not have so many use CGI statements either (one should suffice). Both param() and redirect() are methods of the CGI object ($cgi = new CGI) so they can be called:

my $cgi = new CGI;
$cgi->param( $param_name );
$cgi->redirect( $url );

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.
