I think this is a browser issue...

Is there bug with IE6 on WinXP that would stop my HTML
forms
from processing the entered information to my perl script.
I just
switched systems from Win95 / IE5.5 (where the form and
script worked
fine), to
XP Pro with IE6. I double & triple checked all the
file/directory
paths. The server and Perl Interpreter were both installed
and set up
with their respective default settings. The ACTION is
pointing to the
correct path & script name. The script is running when the
submit
button is clicked, but the form information is not being
passed to the
script for some reason. I'm baffled !!

Can anyone help ?? Do you need more info ??

I even did a simple test form and script to make sure I
was doing
everything correct and got the same results.



FORM:
<form action="cgi-bin/Home.pl" method=post>
First Name: <input type=text name="firstName"><br>
Last Name: <input type=text name="lastName">
<p align=center><input type=submit
value="Continue"><br><br></p>
</form>


SCRIPT:
#! C:\Perl\bin\perl
use CGI ':standard';
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$firstName = param('firstName');
$lastName = param('lastName');

print qq($lastName $firstName);



.....As you can see, this is a very basic form...but the
names entered
into the form do not get thru to the script and are not
printing. But
in my original sript, I'm also printing out HTML code, to
format the
output, which is printed to the screen without a problem.

Is it possible i'm missing a driver or plugin ?? Is there
anything in
my settings I should change ??

Please help ?!
