Cannot understand where I'm having a problem here, and it's something I really would like to have, so I don't end up with a different script for everythign I want to do.

This should simply print a form if it receives no $action" or print a single line if it receives the $action of "login."

No matter what I do, it gives me the form each and every time and I can't, for the life of me, see why. I appreciate any hints!

**********

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
require "toolbox.pl";

inputIn();

$email = $input{'email'};
$password = $input{'password'};
$action = $input{'login'};

if (! $action) {printForm();}
elsif ($action eq "login") {
            header();
            print qq~Action = $action~;
            footer();
        }

I wonder if I can set a timer letting me know when I should stop looking at the code because I'm not paying attention to the right things?

Nevermind - I figured it out.

$action = $input{'action'};

uhm - duh.
