I want to have a cgi-script that does two things.

  1. Take the input from a form.
  2. Generate results base on the input values on a frame.

I also want the frame to exist only after the result is generated/printed.

Below is the simplified code of what I want to do. But somehow it doesn't work. What's the right way to do it?

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl

    use CGI ':standard';

    print header;
    print start_html('A Simple Example'),
        h1('A Simple Example'),
        start_form,
        "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),
        p,
        "What's the combination?",
        p,
        checkbox_group(-name=>'words',
               -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
               -defaults=>['eenie','minie']),
        p,
        "What's your favorite color? ",
        popup_menu(-name=>'color',
               -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),
        p,
        submit,
        end_form,
        hr;

    if (param()) {

        # begin create the frame

print <<EOF;
<html><head><title>$TITLE</title></head>
<frameset rows="10,90">
<frame src="$script_name/query" name="query">
<frame src="$script_name/response" name="response">
</frameset>
EOF

# Finish creating frame


        print 
        "Your name is: ",em(param('name')),
        p,
        "The keywords are: ",em(join(", ",param('words'))),
        p,
        "Your favorite color is: ",em(param('color')),
        hr;
    }
    print end_html;
