You're on a Mac, and I don't know what 'shell' Perl uses there, but if this
were on Unix, you'd need to add a 2>&1 at the end of the command there if
you wanted to capture any error text.

You may find it considerably easier in this case simply to say
rename "/$formdata{name}.html",
"/Library/WebServer/Document/About/$formdata{name}.html" or die "rename: $!\n";
