[html-formfu] New user with simple question -- Solved

[George Hrysanthopoulos]

Ok, problem solved! Phew!

I will post all the files in downloadable form
at "http://www.xm5design.com/" sometime tomorrow.
After I wake up!

Thanks Carl! You have made my day(night).

Now, I can go to sleep!

Solution: The "simple_get.cgi" script must look like this:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

  16 my($query, $template, $formret);
  17 my($template_out, $CGI_query);
  18
  19 #
  20 # Note: When calling "new CGI" the variables (as passed by apache) wil=

  21 #           query and each variable can be accessed via: $form->param_=
value('variable_name_in_form')
  22 $CGI_query =3D new CGI;
  23 print $CGI_query->header();
  24     #
  25     # open the HTML template
  26     $form =3D HTML::FormFu->new;
