They're talking about using something like I sent (personally, by accident).
To add to your perl script.

$MyVariable = param("field_name");
 if (! $MyVariable) {
print "<h1>HEY, HOW CAN I SEND THE ITEM IF I DO NOT KNOW YOUR
ADDRESS??</h1>\n";
print "<br><a href=form.html>Go Back</a>\n";
exit;
}

# The "$MyVariable = param("field_name");"  might be "$MyVariable =
$FORM{'field_name'}".  You can see how
fields are specified by looking at your script code.

The "!" means "not" to perl.
