Let me ask this question.. when passing variables from a HTMl form to a CGI script do you need to do anything special to the environment.
The reason I ask is I took an html page off server_1 and used the exact script that they used on the server_1 to process the email. Placed it on Server_2 with the script and the variables did not pass but work fine on Server_1 Thanks -----Original Message----- From: David Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 12:42 PM To: 'Perl'; 'Lance Prais' Subject: RE: CGI QUESTION > I have a question regarding passing variables from a HTML > form to a CGI script.

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.
