I am working on a registration page and there for want it to show the
user errors it has found with their input. I have two subroutines in
my code, the first one prints out the form, also takes an array with
error descriptions that is passed by the other subroutine. The other
subroutine takes the user input and verifies it, any errors that it
finds it pushes into an array called @errors and passes that back to
the first subroutine. The problem is it doesn't work right when I
run it from the command line this is what I get:
vendion@SEServer:~/public_html/AmeriVista> perl -cT register.cgi
