Hello,

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or
string at cgi_7.pl line 35.
Line 31 and 35 are using data that in uninitialized.
For instance calling param() on a parameter that has not been passed to
the script will return a value thats been uninitialized.
For instanc e it appears its the name so calling your script with
?name=bob at the end of the url will make sure "name" is initialized.
Alternatively you can check for that and assign an appropriate value
my $name = param('name') || '';
or better yet handle it:
if(defined $name) {
# if its valid , HTMLescape it and print it
# otherwise tell them they did bad :)
}
else {
# ask them for theri name
}
