Hello there. I am new to Perl CGI (not base perl) and need to create a two field. Both are really free text fields. The issue I have is getting the text boxes to be one on top of the other (as opposed to horizontal). This is the code I have:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::IniFiles;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use vars qw ( @TMP $TITLE $CUR );

$TITLE = "Nagios On-Call Update";

if ( -e "/var/nssoncall/oncall.ini" ) {

        open(IN,"</var/nssoncall/oncall.ini");
        @TMP = <IN>;
        close IN;

        $TITLE = $TITLE . " [Current = $TMP[0]] ";
        }

print header,
        start_html('Nagios On-Call Updater'),title('NagiosOnCall'),
        hr,
             h1($TITLE),
                start_form,
                textfield( -name => 'address', -size => 40, -maxlength => 40),
                textfield( -name => 'name', -size => 40, -maxlength => 40),
                submit(-name=>'Activate'),
                end_form,
                ;

if (param()) {
        my $address   = param('address');
        my $name      = param('name');
        system "echo $address > /var/nssoncall/oncall.ini";
        print "<meta http-equiv=\"REFRESH\" content=\"0;url=/nagios/cgi-bin/oncall.cgi\">";
        }


As always, any help is much appreciated!

Sounds like you want a HTML <br> tag after the first one.
