Where does HTML Form output go?

Hi,

I have a form and want to do something with its output. I want to setup a perl script to process the data in this form. I am a newbie so this may seem like a simple question, but where can I see what the form output looks like so I know how to parse it with my perl script?

Simple example.....
<form name="form1" method="post" action="blah.pl">
FirstName:<input name="firstname" type="text" id="firstname">
LastName:<input name="lastname" type="text" id="lastname">
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submitForm" value="Submit">
</form>

Can I display the output of this form to a txt file or anything to see how I would parse it?

Thanks.

In reply to ur query, c u have included action tag in the form tag. that action will decide wat u want to do after pressing submit.
I mean, u can store this data in database. or u can create another HTML displaying the values of first HTML. and if you want to store it in txt file then just use somecoding JAVA or .NET to fetch the data and store in a file.
