[plug] cgi programming in Perl

[Adam Ashley]

your using CGI right?

well if you are add  these two options to the form elements -default=>"" (or
a suitable default value) and -override=>1 this tell CGI to use the default
value as apposed to filling the fields in with the previously submitted data
