I need help with Perl

[thco]

I need help capturing a query string into a daba base file.

At this time I'm not interested in having the data in a SQL
data base for access or updating there.
Instead, I would simply import and manipulate all the orders into a data base on my
computer.

My test order page is located at:

http://www.thansson.com/test/test-order.htm

When a customer submits this order page to
the gateway (Iongate) and the order is processed,
the query string (sample below)
?APPROVALCODE=180466&REPLYCODE=000&RESPONSECODE=AA&AUTHSOURCE=5&CAPCODE=5&AMEXCAPCODE=2&TRANSDATE=012302&TRANSTIME=145850&AVSRESPONSE=Y&AUTHRESPONSE=APPROVAL&CVV2RESPONSE=&AMOUNT=197%2E00&CARDTYPE=VISA&CARDNUM=42XXXXXXXXXX3627&EXPIRES=0202&TYPE=SALE&CARDNAME=Theodore+Smith&ADDRESS=248+240th+Ct+SE&ADDRESS2=&CITY=Seattle&STATE=WA&ZIP=98004&COUNTRY=USA&PHONE=&EMAIL=thansson%40thansson%2Ecom&CUSTNO=&INVOICENO=41&DESCRIPTION=Highly+Confidential+Directory+of+Paper+Buyers&TERMINAL=

is sent to the receipt URL pointing to the perl script at:

http://www.thansson.com/cgi-bin/test.pl

(chmod set at 755)

You can see the script at:

http://www.thansson.com/test-script.htm

The script then sends the following page to the
customer:

http://www.thansson.com/test/test-thanks.htm

What am I missing??? Why isn't this working???

Thanks for any help you can give me on this

Kindly,
Ted

Ok... What operating system?
What do you mean by database... do you mean mysql, postgres, oracle, sybase, sql server, access, etc..? or do you mean a flat file (a deliminated text file)?
