"defines"  param?   I'm ASSUMING perl is like .ASP and HTML.

Greg,

Did it and got the following:

Can't call method "param" on an undefined value at
/QOpenSys/perl/webwrap/dbtest4 line 13. 

The HTML that invokes my Perl CGI is the following:

<form method=post action="/cgi-bin/dbtest4?parm">
<p>
<table border=0>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=parm value="query"></td><td>Customer
bank codes & acct #</td></tr>
<p>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=parm value="oscmd"></td><td>WRKCFGSTS
*NWS</td></tr>
<p>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=parm value="query3"></td><td>Not
enabled</td></tr>
</center></table>

The Perl that attempts to process the input is:

$myparm = $query->param('parm');
print $myparm;                  

Regards...George

George,

Use the post method then $query->param('param_name').

Greg

I currently have the following code in my Perl CGI to try and decode
what is occuring:

$query = new CGI;
print $query;

The print results in the following

CGI=HASH(0x200215a8)

Assuming that $query once initialized is a pointer to some data I
attempt to use it as such and get bupkiss.

Can you suggest what is occurrring and how I might capture the
passed
parameter to use for control flow in my program?
