Hi List,

Thankyou to everyone who helped with my last query, getting my test.pl
program to work.  I got it working in the end by altering the config of my
web server to run cgi programs.  However now I'm taking it a stage further
and I'm getting an input from a form and passing it into the following CGI
program.

#!c:\perl\bin\perl

use CGI;
$query = new CGI;

if ($query->param('age') >= 18) {
     $voter = 'yes';
}
else {
     $voter = 'no';
}

print $query->header;
print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Are you old enough to vote?</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>\n";
print "<H1>Are you old enough to vote?</H1>\n";
if ($voter eq 'yes') {
     print "<P>You are old enough to vote.</P>\n";
}
else {
     print "<P>You are not yet old enough to vote.</P>\n";
}
print "</BODY></HTML>\n";

I get a server error come up once I press the submit button on the form which
links into the above program.  Also when I try running it from the command
line using the perl -cw vote.pl it says unrecognized character \xD0 at
vote.pl line 1.  Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Ben.
