Two things:
1) Your action parameter of the form tag was pointing to a separate program.
If you leave it blank (or leave it out altogether), then this same script
will process it.
2) You don't need to split param('list') - CGI.pm will automatically make an
array for you, if it contains multiple entries.
HTH & Have Fun!
