Yep (had to check though!)
The script I tried is:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print <<end_of_start;
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello me</title>
</head>
<body>
end_of_start

my $favorite = param ("$flavor");
print "hello $flavor";
print <<all_done;
</body>
</html>
all_done

Straight(ish) out of Learning Perl (hence the strange spelling :-) )
I know there is a blindingly obvious reason why the script doesn't work, but
as usual I can't find it!
