Are you using the CGI module? When I grab what's passed by a form
submission, I usually save a copy of them in a hash (assuming no
multi-valued form elements will be present) like so:
-----
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
our %F = ();
$F{$_} = $cgi->param($_) for $cgi->param();
-----
You can now access your form values with $F{account}
Please post more code (from your cgi script where you're trying to
access the values passed from the form) if this doesn't fix your
problem.
