hello

is there anyway to get url whatever the user entered in the field.

example

in the script
instead of

my $url = "http://www.whatever.com";
my $page = get( $url );

how can we get the url without declaring the url in the script.

It depends. What kind of field? An HTML form? A Tk interface? Curses,
Gtk, Qt, Cocoa... what?

CGI.pm is the standard way to retrieve the contents of a form that's
been submitted to a CGI script written in Perl. For example, to retrieve
the contents of a form input named "example":

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;
my $example = $query->param('example');

# Obviously you'd want to follow this with some output at
# this point.

Have a look at "perldoc CGI" for more.
