The ones used in normal code are: $ Scalar--numerical value or single string value. @ List--sort of an array, sort of a linked list. It's really its own sort of Perl animal. % Associate Array, called a hash in Perl.

You show some very generalized psuedocode, yet present a very specific implementation problems. Just post some code, particularly the code used to receive and parse the form input. You probably need to read a basic text on Perl. Trying to simply apply code from other languages to Perl will not work.
