Two things: 1) Your action parameter of the form tag was pointing to a separate program. If you leave it blank (or leave it out altogether), then this same script will process it. 2) You don't need to split param('list') - CGI.pm will automatically make an array for you, if it contains multiple ent

Always look to O'Reilly first, they usually have something not only relevant to your request, but well-written and comprehensive as well. Try "CGI Programming with Perl". It's the one with the mouse on the cover. I don't have this one, but I hear "The Perl Cookbook" is supposed to be good also.

It is a very good book, but I am not sure it is what the original poster was looking for, I don't think it is geared towards the cgi spectrum of Perl. It is great for doing specific tasks, many of which can be implemented in multiple arenas, but as a CGI book it really isn't. Along with the CG
